Pictures of Tinian in 84

[Duane E]

Hi all, these pictures were taken when I was on Tinian in 1984, and there are a few of Guam when I was there the same year. We supported live fire exercises on Tinian, then went to Guam to participate in the 40th Anneversary of their liberation. Hope you like them, some photos are a little blurry. First pic is the welcome sign to Tinian. Tinian.jpg
