| Comments: | Great website! My Dad was on an LST during WWII and involved in the Battle of Leyte. I would like to find out more about his experiences. He died in 1978, and never said much about the war. My husband served in the U.S. Coast Guard during the Vietnam Era, and was surprised by your website seeing Coast Guard personnel on an LST. Was this unusual during WWII? Thank you for the info. |

| Comments: | I am a crewmember of the USS Heywood L. Edwards DD663 which unloaded some ammo from LST 794 during the Okinawa campaign. My regards to the crew of the ship and advise them that we placed the ammo where it did the most good thanks to ships like LST 794. Of interest we fired one and a half times as many shells during Okinawa as the entire Allied fleet at Normandy. |

| Comments: | What a great site. I wanted to write about my dad for a Veterans Day commontary for the local paper (which I work for) and wanted more info. The site was great. I learned so much about his days during the war. He is pictured in the large crew picture. My dad would have loved it. Unfortunately he died 14 years age in July of 1988. |
