Jon, you and I have a lot in common. My father was also in Hawaii in WWII before heading out for Saipan and Okinawa.
My father was on the York Town for a short time and the New Orleans until the war ended.
He did not talk much about the war, at least not the bad things, but he talked a little about Hawaii. He stayed in The Royal Hawaiian when he was here. He talked about the people here, how they seemed to ready and willing to do anything to help the military.
