Dad's birthday was actually the 12th Dave, I just lose track of days some time.
Always remembered his B'day was the same as Lincolns.
Feb 12th. And yes, 1925 is correct. He had to get his Father to sign off on him joining the Navy at 16 years old.
He enlisted against his Mommas wishes in October, 2 months before Pearl.
Said he was still thawing out from the Great Lakes basic training camp.
He said they had a hard frost in October and he longed for sunny California again.
