LSTs

I found out today that two of our friends, Kora and Sue, had fathers who served on LSTs.

Kora said her father might have been killed except that on a really hot night in the Pacific, he and the rest of the crew decided to sleep out on the deck. The compartment where they would have been sleeping had a kamikaze plane crash into it. The ship sank.
