RUSSELL DANIELS wrote on August 20, 2005 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My late father, Kay Dee Daniels, served on the USS Sicily (CVE-118) from 1949-52, as a BT-3 (Boiler Tender 3rd Class). His comments and stories to me through the years were intriguing and as humorous as war stories can be (especially about the VMF-214 "Black Sheep"). And some of his shore leave pictures (those which survived his tour)are hilarious (especially a champagne or two while in Marseilles). There were also the serious and shocking stories about war and its consequences to life and limb. He enjoyed his time on the "Phantom" and I still have his "yearbook" of the Sicily, plus an old Collier's containing the article on the ship (from an fellow shipmate of his with whom, I'm sorry to say, I've lost touch). To all of his fellow "squids" and "jarheads," thank you one and all. Through even the most difficult days of the war, his life was enriched because of you. Sincerely, Russell M.

He and my mother married in Nov. 1951 and they lived in San Diego and Long Beach where the ship was - so I know he was onboard the Sicily prior to and after 1951.
