Petty Officer First Class Jaime Purificacion: God, Family, Country

*** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ***

Note: 

We are trying to piece together Dad's military ribbons and medals which were scattered over the past couple of deacdes.  This site will be updated as soon as possible.  'Checking Navy Dept. records, especially his service in Vietnam as a "spade man" for a Destroyer ship's 5" Naval artillery guns.

We are encouraging him to put them together in a frame, so that the world will know the sacrifices he (and others) made for freedom and that Dad did his part resisting Communism.

I remember as a kid finding a bunch of his medals in a drawer.  But now, with the world on the brink of craziness, people need to see how blessed they are to have their freedoms.

We should value freedom in the Declaration & U.S. Constitution.  Humanity ought not bend the knee to sinful man or tyrants but only to Almighty God and to His Only Begotten Son.
