thanks for the response. i'm a bit surprised no one has come up with anything yet. i've looked at the roster of listed armed guard veterans and dont see my dad's name. that makes me wonder how many are out there who are not credited. the subject has been in my blood all my life. i now spend my spare time diving the wwII wrecks off florida. check out cities service empire on the net. its a long running story with numbers of twists.
please keep looking
