My father, Donald William Ashe, actually he was my step father but he was the only father I ever knew. He served our country in both WWII and Korean War. He served in the South Pacific during WWII and on board various ships during the Korean War as a carpenter. I wish I knew more about his service and what ships he served on, but when he passed away in 1956 I was 8 years of age and I don't remember much of the stories he use to tell. The only thing I do remember about him during his service to our country, he had very sensitive hearing from the big guns going off on the battle ships.
