BIOGRAPHY
My father served in the US Navy during World War II, and his first tours of duty took him to the European/Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. After VE Day, he would later serve in the Pacific through the end of the War, and he also served during the Korean conflict. The photo of my father was taken in London, England. I do not know the date, but assume it was sometime after the Normandy invasion.
