Loretta Perry
Years Served: Father served between 1943-45
My father's name was Jules Perry. He was from New Orleans and served in WWII in the Pacific sometime between 1943-45; I am not sure when. If anyone had a father/grandfather who may have served during that time I would be interested to speak to you. I am seeking any pictures of the ship or shipmates my father may have had. This is just natural curiosity on my part I suppose. Let me say I am proud of all of you who have served our country and I thank you.
