To all you old sailors who remember long-ago Christmases standing watch in a gun tub in sweltering heat or frigid cold -- and to your wives and widows and cildren and grandchildren -- I wish the merriest of Christmases and the best of all new years.

I don't consider myself a hero byany means, however, I DO recall many watches in COLD and/or HOT weather!
Also, I was really "ticked off" Christmas Eve 1944 when a few of us had gone ashore to see Army movies being shown in a warehouse on the dock where we were at Livorno, Italy. I do not recall what the movie was, but about halfway through, the air raid warning siren sounded and the projector operator said "that's it men...air raid". We ran as fast as possible the 400 yards back to our ship and to battle stations.
It was not a pleasant Christmas Eve.
THIS Christmas WAS VERY nice for my wife, me and our family members.
God Bless all.

Just wanted to wish all the Armed Guard Veterans a Merry Christmas.

On this day Christmas Eve 1943 Dad spent the day aboard the SS Richard H. Alvey at Loch Ewe just before making the Murmansk Run January 1944. Miss you Dad!

If you were listening to the radio this Christmas Eve 1943 besides Christmas songs you were probably listening to the Number one song this week 1943.
