Item description from seller

- Original color photograph, 9-1/2 inches high by 7-1/2 inches wide, mounted on a sheet of heavy white board, approximately 13 inches high by 9-1/2 inches wide. Boldly inscribed in black ink below the photo and signed "W. F. Bringle / Admiral US Navy". There is some minor soiling to the mount & its corners are slightly bumped. Near fine The photograph was taken at the Naval Photographic Center, Naval Station, Washington, DC and shows Bringle at waist length in full uniform with numerous medals.The inscription reads: "Honorable Seymour Halpern - / With very best wishes and respect / W. F. Bringle / Admiral US Navy".Admiral William Floyd Bringle, USN (1913-1999) was the first commanding officer of USS Kitty Hawk. During the Vietnam War, from 1967 to 1970, he was Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet, as a Vice Admiral. From 1971 to 1973, as a four star admiral, he was Commander, U.S. Naval Forces in Europe.The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.
