Okay, here’s the situation. You’re 19 years old. You had never been away from home, friends, family – on Thanksgiving Day before this. It’s November 25, 1943, and you and your 1,500+ shipmates are sharing Thanksgiving Dinner while steaming up along the Mexican shoreline, about a day away from San Francisco. You’re on your way to the War in the Pacific, via Pearl Harbor, by way of San Francisco.
