Famous WW2 Quote
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, at Guadalcanal

My father was a Lt. on the Porter when it was sunk. He was a USNA class of '43 grad. After suffering a heart attack at a meeting calling the reserves to active duty during the Bay of Pigs, he started writing about his experience on the Poster DD356. He ended up in Noumea where his narrative is descriptive of the activities while waiting for their new assignment. He died before he could continue his tale of his early service in the Navy. Commander Charles D. Pulver rests at Arlington National Cemetery with his spouse and two sons, Charles Jr. and Howard who served in the Army and ignored the advice of my father: In the Navy you always have dry sheets. We honor all who served and especially those who gave all.
