I would like to personally thank Bill Rutledge for his contribution to the quest for the Presidential Unit Citation. He was very instrumental in the first year of the pursuit. His guidance and advice were of unequaled value to me.
Petty officer Bignall, it was a privilege to work with you and help with this long overdue Honor, Glad you had the will over the 5 years to never doubt it would be done. Bravo Zulu. Bill R
