Comments: Shipmates. I sat for several minutes looking at the rusting hull and abandonment of the LST 1158. I Cried and laughed at the many good times and hard work we put into her. All the rusting and later on the coming of scraping will not change any of it. I can say how proud it was to have served on her. The many good Friends I made and some I am still in contact with. May God take this lovely lady into his hands and set her afloat once again. The crew will be the spirits of the many sailors that walked her deck, they are still there. I am so proud to have served on the LST 1158. God Bless this ship and all its crew. Jon r.
