Note:  Per Jack's daughter Gail:  

Dad was a Signalman Second Class on the USS LCI 347 in the Pacific.  He and his twin brother, Joe, enlisted on July 28, 1943 (age 17) and were both assigned to active duty in the Pacific (different ships).  He was part of the battles in Saipan, Okinawa, the Marshall Islands , Tinian, the Solomons, Guadalcanal and the Carolines and kept diaries of it all.
