Navy can do!

Funny...for years as a kid, I always thought that was my mother and father in that picture, but he was a nugget (out of V12) on the USS Whitmarsh at the time, which arrived in Japan only a week or so after the surrender document was signed.

But my mom wasn't even in nursing school at that time!

I saw this picture of my Dad (far right) with some other guys in the V-12 program in 1945, and my mind did all the rest!
