⚓ GBS Media shares the story of Harold N. Danneels of Marine City, a proud U.S. Navy veteran who served in the Pacific during WWII.

Harold was stationed aboard LSM 145 — a vital vessel delivering troops and supplies to island shores. His most memorable service: off the coast of Iwo Jima.

In 1943, my grandfather was stationed at Camp Andrews, Oahu. These are some of his old photos of that place and time.

Probably more solemn than a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the site of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor is a silent witness to the chaos and carnage that signaled America's entrance into the Second World War. A war that would cost almost 400k American lives and between 50-70 million worldwide.

We were able to mark the visit off our bucket list in 2021.
