Tennessee williams Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Widder's too humble and modest to tell everybody, but I'm not. He was awarded a Quilt of Valor a few days ago for his service in the Navy. I couldn't get many specifics from him regarding details. Thank you for your service!

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks everyone. Some history: The 'Quilt of Valor' is sponsored and presented by the Quilt of Valor Foundation. I was surprised, humbled and honored to receive this recognition. Mine was presented in large part for my service in the Navy, and in particular, a 16 month 'tour' of Morocco as a Radioman from 69-71. I was in a little place on the outskirts of the desert at a little place called Sidi Yahia. If you think its hot in Arizona, you ain't been to Sidi Yahia..... I don't recall any specific action I did that I would consider 'valor', but if I did, I would have to keep it a secret..... Thanks again for the kind words. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Congratulations Widder. I spent a few days in Tangier Morocco in the Spring of ‘82. The weather was warm but nice. What an odd place it was. Hashish and tea everywhere it seemed, but beer and whiskey, not so much. I cannot imagine 16 months there. Swabbies should not have to endure such dry land for so long.
