Description

War changes everyone. In July 1944, 900 men stood in formation as U.S. Navy Captain Daniel V. Gallery ordered everyone on the USS Guadalcanal to keep their recent event a secret. They could tell no one, but no one, about what had just happened on this cruise-not even wives, parents, or siblings. Gallery instructed the commanders of the five destroyer escorts to also notify the 1,000 men on their ships in this Anti-submarine Warfare Task Group with the same warning.

A young North Dakota farm boy, Glenn Peter Larson, of Regent, was among those bursting with the best story of his life, but he and the rest kept the secret until Germany surrendered in 1945.

This is their amazing story...
