When war broke out, my dad was sent to duty in the Pacific on the USS Kitkun Bay. He was wounded in a kamikaze attack on the Kitkun Bay in the Gulf of Layte in 1945. He received a bronze star and a purple heart. He had his knee cap blown off and carried a lot of shrapnel in his body, but eventually was able to be released from the Naval hospital. He retired from the Navy, as a Lieutenant Jr. Grade, in 1947 and worked at Sand Point as a civilian. My mother also worked at Sand Point in the fabric shop (used to build airplanes).
