Actually, my name is Jim. I am looking on behalf of my friend, who enlisted in Long Beach, Ca. 3rd class Cl. Petty officer E-4,Robert Eugene "Gene" Cooper, who served on the minesweeper class, USS ARDENT AM-340. 12/1/1943 to 6/18/1946.
If you happen to know of him, he's still alive and working at his son's restaurant in Anaheim, Ca. Thank You for your service!
