This website was designed by Scott A. Shafer.
I was very fortunate to have a father that instilled a love and respect for the navy. This site was
designed for my dad, Wayne. And it is in memory of my Late Uncle Ralph Clyde Shafer. I never got to meet my uncle Ralph, but
I feel like I got to know him through my dad. They say that a person is never really gone as long as their memory lives. So
in a manner of speaking, Ralph lives in my Father, my brothers, and in me. It took me two years to build this site. And it
is a part of me.

On any given day, nearly 83,000 people are on the national waiting list for an organ transplant. Unfortunately more than
6,000 people die each year due to lack of organs. You can help by becoming an organ donor. Sign a donor card or indicate your
wish to donate on your driver's license and discuss the decision with your family. Here are some facts you may not know about
organ donation:
- Anyone who is in reasonably good health can be a donor. Age is not necessarily a deterrent.
- Deciding to be an organ donor does not affect the medical care needed to keep you alive.
- Your family does not incur expenses related to transplantation.
- Customary funeral arrangements, including open caskets, are not affected if you're an organ donor.
- You can change your mind anytime about being an organ donor. If you decide not to be a donor, destroy the donor card and
let your family know of your decision.
