This is the story of a father and his son who followed his footsteps in the United States Navy. The son's adventures were not as bold or as daring as those of his father but his memories of the past gave him enough materials to encourage him to write his own life story as well. The author, Quint Ramil Jr., was born and raised in the Philippines and has settled in San Diego, California after retiring from the U.S. Navy. He is an active community leader and a successful businessman, dabbling in insurance, real estate, labor recruitment and other enterprises.
