Old Photographs

I scanned these this morning. I'll go back later, or maybe my sisters will look and see if the information is correct.
My father was in the Army, and then in the Navy. His two brothers were also in the Navy, and all three(my grandmothers only children) were stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941. I know my father was on the U.S.S. Raleigh along with one of his brothers, and the other brother was stationed on another ship.
