my grandfather was in the armed guard and i have become very interested in his service and i enjoy this website, i just wish i would have talked to him more before he passed on. he served from 43-46, and he spent i believe 34 of the 36 months at sea. he served on the s.s. idaho in 43, the s.s. james fergus in 43, the s.s. pampero in 44, and the princeton victory in 45. i remember him talking about how be sailed literally all around the world and i found his ribbons and he has a campaign ribbon from every theatre of the war with numerous starts on the pacific and european campaigns. i was wondering if anyone could help me find out anything about these ships, i would be greatly obliged. from a young marine semper fi
