Until recently I have not heard my father say much about what he experienced during the War. He served in the Navy as a gunner's mate on an airplane. He just gave me one of his flight logs which I have found very interesting. God Bless him and all the men and women who have served this country and who are now serving so that we may continue to have all Freedoms and Rights we are so accustomed to having.

I vote in honor of my old uncle Ezekiel who at the age of 16 began his service in the Continental Army. He served in Rhode Island and at the 1780 Battle of Springfield NJ. In 1780 he was captured by the British and imprisoned in the prison ship "Jersey" in New York harbor for 2 years. After the peace was signed, he struggled to get back to Maine, traveling in a cart because he could not walk. He was the 2nd white settler in what was to become Piscataquis County. His two brothers died in the war, one at sea, and Jonathan Chase at the siege of Yorktown in 1781.
