I've discover his mother's maiden is Wyszyuski, not Shinsky.. I've also discovered that the ships he was assigned to were Fuel & Cargo ships. They did the navy proud during WW II. Very blessed that they weren't sunk, & he survived. My husband served 24 yrs. So we have connected to this veteran in a real way. He took his navy training & helped with emergency services in shellby county. His commitment was just like my husband. They liked their job so they stuck it out & was able to have a 20 yr. navy career.
