A History of the USS Newell

My dad loved the Coast Guard. He was in the service for twenty one years and served in both WWII and Korea. He never talked much about his adventures. While we were searching through his papers yesterday, we came across the history of the USS Newell - the ship he served on in WWII. One can only imagine how it must have felt to experience life at this time. It's a great reminder about a lot of things. This account was compiled and dated September 1952. He has two scrapbooks from his days in the service and we will most likely donate them to the Coast Guard. He left a nice legacy and this is just one part of it.
