Thirteen Air Depot? South Pacific
If so they served together.
New part of the air force museum opened in Ohio honoring them.

Some of dad’s picture are headed that way. I have many snapshots that may have your dads picture in them.!
We were never allowed to open the wooden trunk until he died.
Three years ago.
Until we went on honor flight to D.C. Dad was very quiet about what he did
When he saw the wall of stars he cried. In fact it was several days after we got home before he could speak. Finally “all those stars — ALL those stars and how many more would there have been if we hadn’t done our job!
Dad was a captain in charge of supplies Was sometimes called Hikey becomes of the strenuous hikes he took his group on. The job he hated worse was /JAG officer. “Too much stress on good soldiers. “
I was born nine months to the day he came home. A very wanted child!
