[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1298846, member: 13402"] Thanks for sharing this with us Dun. My daddy served in the Navy for 21 years 19 of them were sea duty. I wish he was still with us he would love looking at those pictures. I know he was in several major sea battles, I sure wish I would have paid more attention to him when he talked about them, but back then I didn't realized just what he had gone through, I was young and stupid. I know he talked about the battle of the Coral Sea and the battle of Midway but can't remember the others. He retired when I was a year old and moved us to Pensacola where he worked on Pensacola NAS for another 20 years as a civilian. I do know he was a master chief and was in the boiler room of the ship, he told me when the bums (dad speak for bombs) started dropping he would run as fast as he could to the engine room that was where he felt the safest, he said he knew what to do when he was there he was just in the way in other areas of the ship.
