Service Dates: 1943-1945

Rank/Duty Assigned: Not sure of rank, but my father was a gunners mate.

My father served on the USS Lexington during WWII. He was with the Lex from Tarawa to Tokyo. My father was from West Virginia and came from very humble beginning and I am sure that his service helped to mold him into the exceptional man he became. My father died in 1979. He was very proud of his service and his family is very proud of that service also.
