a comprehensive roster of everyone - both officers and crew - who served on the USS Tryon.

It was very special to see my father's name listed there.

As I was searching through various sources about the USS Tryon this morning, this book appeared. https://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Express-Logistics-Amphibious-Operations/dp/0970167881

It looks very interesting for those who are interested in military history. I am thinking about ordering it for my sons.

Lest we forget!
