We just honored our father's passing on May 6th. He has been gone 61 years. He was a very young man (33 yrs old). To have been able to find this obituary in Sept., 2019 (while searching for survivors from USS Belleau Wood, Leyte Gulf battle), was a blessing. We have tried on different occasions to find the ship's log, but were unsuccessful. Your father was a true patriot & hero.

So sorry for your loss. I wish I could've met your loved one. My father served on the USS Belleau Wood during the Battle in Leyte Gulf. He too, was a mere 17-18 year old when he served.
