Wonderful photos that your dad took! The one on your mom’s site of the LST in the Battle of Okinawa is quite touching as my Grandfather was on LST 621 during that battle. He passed away 3 years ago, 12 days after his 90th birthday, and the stories he told me of his experiences in the battle in particular were hair raising.

Thank you so much for sharing your Dad’s photos. Simply wonderful.

The wonderful thing is that many of his old shipmates have contacted me through my blog and remembered my Dad fondly. It seems they googled their ship, and my s was at the top of the list!

Thank you for your kind words! :-)
