I was at a flea market here in town one day and I saw an old photo album with alot of old WWII era pics. What caught my eye was the easter sunday 1944 invitation on board the USS New York. So I asked the fellow about it. He didnt exactly know where it came from or who. So I offered I think 5 bucks for the pic album. He also gave me a group Navy pic from 1945 that went with the album. That was a bonus in my opinion. Just look how young all the new recruits look.
Also was an article about one of the Jap subs that was rammed by a US Destroyer. Cool pic of the sub after the retrieved it.
I dont have a clue who these folks are in these pics, but I figured they were worth saving. Who knows where they would have ended up. Probably in the trash somewhere. Someone not being interested in how history I would think.
Enjoy!!
