Veterans day here. Dad was an electrician on the U.S.S. Dayton. His training before the shakedown of that brand new cruiser was at the Rochester V-12 program. Discharged as a first fireman of the black gang (all below deck seamen).

I had one great uncle who was in the 41st division as a Captain of Engineers. Other side of the family there was another great uncle in the Navy on transports and another was a Marine.
I wish I could be in Europe or the UK for this day. Not a peep heard in the U.S.! Shameful. |
