Hello, Sandy.

The USS SLC website you created is great! Thank you so much for your time and attention to this significant piece of military history.

I was delighted to find my dad's name and even some photos. I have a few photos I could scan and send to you. Unfortunately, none of the men in the photos is identified.

Thank you.
