Online Resources
Many resources are available
to assist those that are interested in doing research. The Internet
sites listed below are those that I found to be the most helpful in
putting the pieces together regarding my father's life and experiences
during his service in the Civilian Conservation Corps and in the US
Navy during WW II. In addition, I received valuable information
from the published works of others and have listed them as print resources.
