Astonishing how well preserved that film is. Any idea who had it, where it was kept?

The commie lib college kiddies aren’t going to like this. Taxpayer dollars were used to pay for the film and the camera. There is going to be a lot of hysteria on the Berkeley campii when the little kiddies hear about this.

Thank God most of these men aren’t around to see what the current occupant of the White House is doing to the country they fought for.

A rough sea state: look at all the rolling reflected in the movements of the priest and the men.
Look at the serious expressions of all those young men. They knew what they were in for.
God bless and keep them.

My Dad or Uncles could be in that crowd
its amusing how they are swaying in unison with the rolling of the ship, like some choreographed dance going on in the Mass. You never see that in church!

Saw the other night on PBS (I believe) a documentary on Bill Genaust, one of movie photogs assigned by the Army to film the battle on Iwo Jima. He recorded like 14 reels of color footage before himself was killed flushing out the enemy from a cave. His most famous clip is the raising of the second American flag on Iwo Jima. Good stuff.

I have a photograph on the wall at home showing my Dad receiving communion at sea while on convoy duty in the No. Atlantic in 1942. He was radio operator on a Q ship. He said it had been rough for days, but the Atlantic went flat calm when the Mass started.

I look at all those faces and realize that many of them would not live another two weeks.
God bless them and their memory.

Thank you. It was inspiring. My father and uncles were in WW 2.
