Liberty Cards

Sgt Grit,

As a young Pvt. at Camp Lejeune in 1965, I was required to carry a Liberty Card signed out to me by the Duty NCO when liberty was authorized. When I returned from liberty, I gave it back to the Duty NCO.  However, at some point, I believe after my return from "Nam" Liberty Cards were ended.  The one card that I do have is a Chow Pass from the USS Iwo Jima (LPH 2) from 1965 and the Carib. Cruise, Santa Domingo crisis. The other is also from the same ship, but a few years later – circa – 1972 I believe.

Respectfully,
GySgt Burd, USMC (Ret)
