you are indeed a fortunate man to have a father thats 101-- You are doing the highest thing taking care of him. Best Wishes to you both.My 101yr old Dad is in hospital, so I may be several days late shipping your bullets. Dad served in the US Navy, aboard the USS Oglala & USS Dorsey, as Gunners Mate First Class.
He earned a lot of respect from friends and family - looks like he’ll be discharged Monday. I am proud to have earned HIS respect. View attachment 1228694
I’m guilty of not recalling which ship, when. At Pearl Harbor bomming, his ship was at sea, o search & rescue for a PBY. I’ll ask him when he wakes up. As I recall, the Dorsey was converted into a mine sweeper. Dad always has said that, prior to the Pearl raid, they depth charged many times for probable Japanese subs.Prayers are with him.
Thank him for his service.
He was at Pearl Harbor on the Oglala?
USS Dorsey didn’t have a good fate either. No wonder why he lives in Iowa, far as possible from water.
