WoW....Salute to all the crew aboard the WAHOO...!...
My father was a diver on the sub-tender USS Griffin during this time in history...
All i can say is war was hell to him..cause he had a drawer full of medals that i happened on as a young man and i could never get him to talk about them...
When i did ask he`d just shrug the questions off ,saying he did what he had to do ...which still left me still fulll of questions ,,but he never revealed to me life he endured in action, other than he loved Brisbane and the people there....he always wanted to go back to Brisbane but his dreams were never fulfilled....
Salute to my Father and all others that sacrificed themselves for their beliefs,family an country............
