Got this photo when my grandma died. Gramps died when I was pretty young...never talked much about the war. Know he was on the Missouri...and that he HATED anything Japanese.

Hi Luke, thanks for sharing his pic. I wonder if he was on the Missouri when the Japanese surrendered? I'd have loved to have been there for that event ;-))

So goes the family story! Cannot be sure though, until I get his records. The wait is on.
