South Shore H.S. Grad Takes Part In Iraq Operations As Navy Petty Officer Petty Officer 1st Class John P. Delamar, son of Clair Delamar and John Delamar, recently participated in Operation Vigilant Resolve, while assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 131, aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, homeported in Norfolk, Va. During the operation, Delamar’s unit and Carrier Air Wing Seven, launched F/A-18 Hornets from the Washington, and conducted a 20-mm strafing run against an enemy position and dropped two 500-pound laser guided bombs on another enemy position in Fallujah, Iraq. Carriers like USS George Washington are deployed throughout the world to maintain U.S. presence and provide rapid response in times of crisis. They serve as a highly visible deterrent to would-be aggressors, and are equipped with the most versatile and powerful weapons and aircraft available. Delamar, a 1989 graduate of South Shore High School, joined the Navy in August 1992.
