I'm doing some research since my dad John "ACE" Hrina served on the Willy D until it was sunk on 6/10/45. My grandmother told me the he was among those saved. I'm wondering if there were other shipmates that didn't make it. I would like to honor them as well if so since here in Pennsylvania a memorial project is on it's way to honor vets. If there's anyone out there that knows or would like to communicate with me, please do. My dad was a sonar technician and died on his 87th birthday in January this year in N.J. Bless you all on this Memorial Day 2012 and THANKS! castles_in_sand@yahoo.com Thanks to all who posted here!

The William D. Porter just had the luck to do it at the boat carrying the president. The ship definitely had a hard time, but other ships probably had similar accidents. The William D.
