Title

Frank, Gabriel (Gabe) Clip 2

Description (Scope and Content)

Gabe passed his training and headed out to sea as a member of the Merchant Marine, who at that time were busy shipping supplies and Allied troops to the front. The Navy provided armed crews to man turrets to protect the vessels and cargo from Axis torpedoes. One of Gabe’s first ships was scheduled to deliver troops from France to Japan for the invasion there but the United States dropped Atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki while Gabe and the ship were en route and the War ended soon after.
