New Member Introductions / Daughter of WWII Veteran
« on: November 02, 2010, 12:07:28 PM »
Hello. My father is a WWII veteran. He was stationed on Aiea naval base in Hawaii from 1944 to 1946. He is 89-years old now and I am helping him put his story together. He started having nightmares and flashbacks several years ago. Since that time, we have had breakfast together every Wednesday. I ask questions, he sometimes answers, sometimes doesn't. In that time, I learned that what we thought he did during the war was only the abbreviated version. He actually worked in naval intelligence as a code breaker (Japanese code). And I also learned that there is good reason for his flashbacks. I am hoping that someone here can help me glean some more information for him.
As for me, I worked as a special education, elementary teacher for 15 years. Since leaving that position, I have worked as a freelance writer. I am now writing books. I am the mother of three plus a dog and a cat. (now I sound like that crazy animal person) Anyway--good to be here. And I am so happy to find a place that is all about submarines! ~L
