One fact I'm sure of is that he was on board when Eisenhower came on board to sail on the ship briefly. I became a History teacher when I graduated from college, and shortly after I began to teach the Korean War for the first time, my father passed away. None of my many, burning questions were ever answered. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks for reading this!!!
