My grandfather, Verrill York, passed away in June 2008. I found out from his Navy Papers he once served on the U.S.S. Menard during WWII. I searched for his ship on the internet and found your web site. Thank you for this tribute to him and his fellow crew mates.

Admin reply: Hi Richard,

My father, Jack Walsh, served aboard the Menard from '51-'53. He passed away on August 10, 2009. I would love to hear from those that knew him, but am especially interested in finding others from UDT team 2. God bless you all, and thank you for your service.

My father Frank C Agosto passed away Jan. 1999. My father didn't tell us stories about the war but when we asked him about it he just would say " it was a terrible time and we should never go through such a time again." I beleive my dad was a cook or baker and gunner. My dad spent many years after the war involved in Boy Scouts as a Scoutmaster. He molded many young mens lives. He lived in Lynwood, CA. from 1947 to 1988 and then moved to Dorris, CA. where my mom died in 1995 and then my dad in 1999. If anyone has any stories about my dad I would apprecate it. My deepest thanks to all the crew who gave there life for my freedom. I do have some pictures of my dad on the ship with his friends but I do notknow who they are.

I was in the Marine Corp and transported from San Diego, CA to Kobe, Japan in January 1951 on the Menard. I was 24 years of age. I would like to correspond with anyone who was on the USS Menard during the same time period. I was born and raised in Kingman, Kansas. Please email with all your details. God Bless.

My dad Arthur was a radioman during WWII. He was NY but moved to KY in 1971 until he passed away March 1986. I still have his uniform and just found his Navy papers.

My dad, Eugene Barker, served on the Menard in WW 2. He passed away in 1983 and never talked about his time in the Navy. If anyone remembers him and would like to share a story feel free to contact me. My mother just passed away last month and we came across some of his Navy papers, which has made me interested in his service. Great website and information.
