SQUAD DOG 25 - Tapa blanda

In this 274 page book with some illustrations, include 25 officers and crew of the USS John Rodgers who contributed their experiences and emotions during their 12 major battles in the South Pacific. Their adventure culminated in the first surface vessel to attack the the homeland of Japan, just before they surrendered in 1945. Their Squad Dog 25 penetration into Japan earned them a special citation from Admiral Halsey "You have been entered on the Emperor's black list". Then there was the excitement, going through the Panama Canal and finally arriving for a victory celebration at the Boston Navy Yard. Then the blessing of getting home with loved ones.
