On this date sixty-eight years ago my father, Jimmie A. Prime, joined the Navy during World War II. He wrote home often during his time at war, and his mother kept his letters. I hope to scan each of these letters and transcribe them. They will be posted to my family history blog: http://afamilysstory.blogspot.com/. His first letters, to his brother and mother, were sent December 7th, and so my first entry will be tomorrow.
I hope you will go to my other blog to read them. Thank you!
