Description

Original title: "So, Dad's an Admiral!" Original caption: "Navy Seabee Bill Stoffle takes time out at Chu Lai, South Vietnam to catch up on reading -- especially the item about his father being recently nominated to rank of Rear Admiral in the Coast Guard Reserve by President Johnson. The elder Soffle was the commanding officer of a Coast Guard Seabee battalion in the Pacific during World War II. Young Stoffle, who now serves in Naval Mobile construction Battalion SEVENTY ONE, recently received a promotion, too -- to the rating of Builder Third Class. This year, the Seabees are observing their 25th anniversary." Seabee stops work to read the news. More Seabees are in the background pouring concrete. Seabees news release 28-67 (50).
