The Krenn Papers

S/Sgt Arthur E. Krenn's Personal War Diary of his time with the 1st Armored Division
in North Africa and the Battles for Italy. Not for the faint of heart, or those offended by the language of combat, this Epic is for those who love an Action Packed, True account of World War II in Europe and North Africa - one that is not 'sugar coated' or slanted from the point of view of the News Media, but told by a decorated Tanker Captain, the Krenn Papers is a Must-Visit Website!

tour of duty on the Hannamaru

The Frederick A. Kralowetz, AVCM, USNR (Ret) VAW-11 Detachment Lima Extended Vietnam Era Gallery

By far one of the most extensive Photo Galleries on the Internet of the USS Hancock CVA-19, ranking up there along with the Michael T. Postolan USS Hancock Vietnam Era Gallery, this gallery will have a "Reflective" affect on you that will bring you back time after time.

This is the First Gallery honoring one of our CAG/CVW-21 Squadron Members VAW-11 Detachment Lima!

While I was assembling this Gallery, I had many flashbacks of this time aboard ship, since this time was so very poignant to my early memories. I am quite sure it will have the exact same affect on you as you peruse this Gallery. I can only say a hearty "Bravo Zulu" to our Comrade and Shipmate, Fred Kralowetz for supplying all these photos along with the Memories which will come flooding in. Thanks Fred!
See it for yourself!
