Grandpa's Video

Back


A video of my father-in-laws (and the kids Grandpa's) service in the US Navy in WWII. The wreckage photos are from the typhoon off of Okinawa in 1944, which my father-in-law survived in that little YMS boat he was on. He called it a "cork in a big ocean", and said the only reason they survived was the clear thinking of the ships Captain, who's photo is in the video as well. Dad died in May of 2005, this video is in his honor. We miss him a lot, but he lives on in the minds of his children and grandchildren.
