My dad and other WW2 vets remember

The Nashville ABC News affiliate, WKRN, interviewed a number of World War II veterans at a retirement home last week, my dad among them. Here is the video report my dad is in. The story and more video are here (link may be perishable).

My father was a Seabee in the Navy. His trained specialty (MOS in modern terms) was damage control onboard ships. He served on the battleship USS Texas and the escort carrier USS Bougainville.
