I have 7 uncles and they ALL served in WWII. One is still alive.....barely. He is a “little big man”. Meaning he’s only about 5’5” but served in the Navy in combat in the Solomon Islands on a destroyer. He was one of the loaders on an anti aircraft gun. The only pic I have of him is in his dress blues which I proudly wore 25 years after him!
This is good news for Charles Reynolds family and for all patriotic Americans.
“in combat in the Solomon Islands on a destroyer. He was one of the loaders on an anti aircraft gun.”
My Father did too. Uss Perkins. His duty station was right above the magazine.
God bless your uncle! My Dad was a gunners mate on a destroyer in WWII, served in both the Atlantic and pacific theaters.
