In Honor of Veteran's Day, I'm using my Dad's Navy picture from World War II. He served from early 1944 to late 1945 aboard the USS Auburn (AGC-10). The ship received two Battle Stars during WWII for:

Iwo Jima Operation - Assault and Occupation 2/19/45 to 3/27/45
Okinawa Gunto Operation - Assault and Occupation 5/31/45 to 6/21/45

My father said he saw the flag raising on Mt Suribachi, Iwo Jima from his ship.

The ship served as the Flag ship during the Okinawa Operation and had over 60 Kamikaze attacks with little success due to the destroyers assigned to protect it.

After the surrender of Japan, the ship went to several ports in Japan assisting in the Occupation of Japan. Included in these ports was Nagasaki, the 2nd city of Japan that the Atomic Bomb was used.

My Father passed on September 24, 2003 and I miss him very much.
