“Many of us haven’t forgotten & never will.”

I have a letter, postmarked Dec. 5, 1941, from my uncle to my grandmother ... by the time she received that letter on Dec. 8, the world had been changed forever. My grandmother saw him two or three times (after Pearl Harbor) until July of 1945. He spent most of the time in the “Canal Zone” flying patrols (submarine hunter) .... he said during his trip there, on a troop ship, that they rescued many Merchant Marines from life boats.
