I met the most interesting fellow yesterday. He is an 84 year old WWII vet. He was a medic in the Navy and was station on a rescue ship, the USS PCE(R)852. The medics had to rescue injured soldiers on land and on other ships. He told me they would pull up right beside another ship and jump with a full pack to the other ship. He’s written books about his experiences and is working on videos which will be shown on the local public access channel. Here are the books he (Alfred Samuels) wrote on is his website. There are some other books there too.
