Good Morning Colonel, thank you for sharing with us.

SAMWolf also covered Task Unit Taffy 3 on our May 30th thread which of course includes the USS Gambier Bay and the battle at Samar where she was lost the following October I believe.

USS Gambier Bay has a great history and I'll bet SAM could do a thread just on her and the Samar battle. I'll ping him to this post.

USS GAMBIER BAY (CVE 73) received four Battle Stars for her service in World War II. She also received the Presidential Unit Citation as a member of Task Unit 77.4.3. (Taffy III)

Please let us know if you'd like to share any personal information with us about your father-in-law's service.

We enjoy being able to tie in personal stories with our great history and learning about our veterans.

We thank your Father-in-law for his service.

Snippy already pointed you to our Taffy 3 thread.

P.S. Any relation to the "Colonel Flagg" from M.A.S.H.?
