Men didn't talk about much of anything back then, you know? He talked about guys he was on the ship with and things they did on the ship and places they ported. Always kept it light.

It must have been a frightening time when our country was attacked in Pearl Harbor and we had an enemy to fight with a specific location. Everyone got behind it.Sudeaux Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083310421645018042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613512.post-55586085782564018682007-11-11T10:38:00.000-05:002007-11-11T10:38:00.000-05:00oh thank you for remembering.
