Norm St. Germain was one of 400 seamen aboard the USS Gambier Bay on October 25, 1944, the day the navy carrier came under intense enemy fire. Outnumbered and unable to escape, the courageous men defended their ship and one another – not knowing whether or not any of them would make it home alive ~

 
Every American owes such a huge debt of gratitude to our veterans for their past and present sacrifices. God bless these brave souls.
