PICTURE YOURSELF . . . HERE . . .

11-23-13

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.
