Service Dates: 1943-?
Rank/Duty Assigned: Metalsmith
My father served on the Lexington beginning in 1943. He was a metalsmith. He shared a story about the Kamakazi attack in Nov 1943. He and a priest helped to gather body parts from the flight deck after the attack. So shocking for a young man of 18 years from North Carolina.
