U.S. Navy, left Pearl Harbor aboard a battleship the week before the attack, returned to assist in salvage operations. My mother shared this letter with me a few years ago.
things like this move me. My grand father Ed (rip bud) served in Iwo Jima, brought home all of his arms and things with him and i have them to this day. medals, letters, pictures of my gram and him when they were younger. he passed away four years ago today.
