This is my Grandfather when he was 19 years old and a Navy Man in World War II sailing into Japanese Kamakaze Planes that wiped out 80% of the crew aboard the USS Aaron Ward. My grandfather was one of the lucky ones who made it off the ship and back home. Later on he has a son who she named Aaron Ward deacon after the esteemed ship.
