Fr. O'Callahan - "The Photo"

Bob Blanchard of USS Franklin explains the photo in which he is being comforted by Fr. O'Callahan. This is a story about the namesake of our ship as well as the USS Gary ... and of course the events aboard USS Franklin in battle. MORE at THIS BLOG

Murmansk Run


Learning about the "old days" of escort duty with the convoys in the North Atlantic. The Anti Aircraft protection noted near the end of this video is a classic. And the "rain" from the crows nest on a clear day is so ... believable. Maybe becuase it is all true.

NAVY BLUE - the song
From friend, Larry Cutrone - this message:
Friends,
Back in 1964 my dear friend Diane Renay had this huge monster hit " Navy Blue "! You can see Diane performing that song and others as she performs at the Veterans of Foreign Wars 2003 National Convention. She was gracious enough to send this rare video performance for the whole word to enjoy! I think you'll agree this song is just as relevanttodayrelevant today as it was back then!

MORE RECORDINGS were made in audio as Andy told several stories, including being present when Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 (he was age 10). These recordings are on the blog.
