The Wagner American Legion Auxiliary Greer Unit #11 is honoring Walter Ishmael as September’s Veteran of the Month. Ishmael enlisted in the Navy in September of 1963. He was one of four from Wagner that joined the Navy at the same time. The other Navy recruits were Neil Hyde, Wendell Stewart and Dean Carda. The four attended basic training together in San Diego, CA at the Naval Training Center. For the first two years of his service, Ishmael’s job was in Aviation Structural Mechanic-Hydraulics which kept him in a land-based status. He had been stationed at the U.S. Naval Auxiliary Air Station Ream Field which is also known as the “Helicopter Capital of the World”. Ishmael decided that it was time for a change of scenery and volunteered to be on the first ship available.
