Pacific Navy Men Speak On War And Home Front Duty
Enlisted sailors aboard a battleship in the Pacific share mixed views on the war. They describe eagerness to end the conflict and return home, pride in fighting Japan, and thoughts of family safety. Voices include Russell Ray Kerns of Breelton, Pa and John Wayne Dodd of Palatka, Fla, plus Wilson G. Dugains of Winston-Salem, N C. They note progress toward Japan, the need for cooperation, and plan to help at home via March of Dimes on the ship.
