This is the narrative by my Uncle Joe...a real-life castaway, post the Battle of Guadalcanal. It is a long read, but will leave you with a deep appreciation for those that serve.

Absolutely agree. I had to read it in stages 'cause the darn screen would get so blurry. God bless him and ALL who served (my own Dad and Uncle Joe, too). So glad I took the time to read it.
