You’ve done a great job on blogging your fathers navy days. My dad was also in the navy serving on the uss blueridge snd uss washburn. The blueridge was heavy involved at bikini atoll. I’ll search for war diaries since you mentioned, I hadn’t thought about them. I did the A to Z fir the first time this year, my theme is southern food and memories. https://everyonehasafamilystorytotell.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/blogging-from-a-to-z-april-2016-o/
