Some of Us are Destined to be Outlived

Kills associated with the USS Bowfin
 
 
I was driving home when a song that reminded me of my dad, James Fitzgerald came on. I recalled a fond memory of him. We were watching the History channel that was covering of all things, the history of the USS Bowfin, a submarine my grandfather served on in WWII in the Pacific. A scene came on showing the command crew looking over a map. My father lit up, yelling "That's him, that's my dad!" I can only recall a few moments I ever saw my dad that happy. I'm glad I got to be there for that moment.
