Thank you for your kind message. The whole point of the Armed Guard website is to remember the courage, service and sacrifice of the men of the Armed Guard. As long as there is an Armed Guard website, your grandfather will be remembered.
If you ever have a chance, you might want to drive to Tampa and visit SS AMERICAN VICTORY, a World War II-era ship on which the Armed Guard served, and get a sense of what his wartime experiences may have been. See http://americanvictory.org/.
Best wishes.
Ron Carlson, Webmaster
