Korea Korea Korea

Garry, Liz's husband while in Alaska with local kids waiting to be sent out to sea in Korea, not sure of the year.


This is Liz with her baby waiting for Garry. Liz writes....
".... The year passed, and my little baby grew into a little girl, and I had grown up in many ways, too. When Garry’s ship returned I held our daughter’s tiny hand and together we walked the gangplank to welcome her daddy home. There was no race in heels to win this time just the sure new walk into the journey of our lives."

> The WAR is very hard on those left behind, as in KOREA KOREA KOREA page 84, it only touches the very top of being alone....My husband sent over 600 letters home and his job in the service was as a Radio Operator for the Commander of the Amphibious Ships in the Western Pacific, he was on about 35 ships during his two tours of duty.He was never assigned to a special ship, it was where the Commander went to hold an operation, like landing at Inchon, transferring prisoners, training the Army and Marines how to debark from a ship without drowning as they did in France on D Day, moving supplies and equipment. Hard to believe in 1951 the only communication was Morse Code...no cell phone, no computers, no telephones on ships just Morse Code and Light and Flag signals..
