Your uncle died a hero. God bless him and all our military people for the sacrifices they made and are still making for us.
And thank you, Lynngraycom, for this wonderful trip down memory lane.

As the product of Jewish and Gypsy grandparents, I can say that Allied vets like your grandfather were heroes whoe truly saved the world. What the 'Greatest Generation' did was truly incredible, and the Canadian, American, British, New Zealander soldiers who fought for the Allies were heroes of the highest order--God bless them all.

the USS Hornet was a great experience for my kids when we visited the museum. What do you call the upper part.. The Island? If you get a chance, go check it out. but if I'm not mistaken, the old photos is from the older hornet that was sunk. I think this ship was used in Korea and Vietnam. But i could be wrong about that.

@MrChameleon2010 The original Hornet was sunk in WWII and this was renamed Hornet. Its crew (of which my grandfather was a member) fought through the end of WWII in many engagements. With the advent of jets, its deck was converted to the diagonal configuration and it served in Korea and Vietnam as you mentioned, as well as picking up Neil Armstrong along the way!
