As to your comment a couple posts up .... My Dad did spent considerable time in the Pacific theatre on destroyers ; he rarely wanted to talk about his war experiences though. Occasionally , generally while sailing , he would talk about days he and a couple other sailors had some freedom and he would talk of the beauty involved in that. I remember most of all how beautiful he found the Philippines to be when sailing there.

I have already answered this, but it died before getting posted somehow...
I will try again and then copy it before sending, Since your Dad was on a Destroyer, then I m sure that our paths crossed, somewhere in the Pacific... I have been on many ships, but never a Destroyer, but I visited my friend on a DE (Destroyer Escort) when he was on it at Pearl Harbor... We went on Liberty together and even have pictures made of us...
I would like to help you find out some information about him, since I have ways of getting same... I don't need his name but I do need the name of the Destroyer or number of it and with this, I can put you in touch with the lead folks of any reunion that they will be having along with where and time... I can even put you in touch with a person that served with him...I can even tell you where they have been along with the dates and the Wars that he served in... If you already have all of that information, then I can still give you quite a bit of other things that you may want at no charge...
