Good morning Meg ((HUGS))
Thank you for that piece of history, which I don’t remember being aware of.

It is a generally forgotten piece of history..It was a tense time..Chinese communist artillery could reach the Islands and our ships ...There was a lot in the papers at the time...I did not know my husband’s ship was involved until later..Thankfully the Chinese chose not to engage us..The US then concentrated on protecting Formosa and more strategic Islands...
Our son was 7 months old at that time..He was 6 weeks old when my husband went to sea aboard the Bexar.
