Jack Cross: I have met an interesting fellow on-line via one of NASM’s wonderful Docents. His name is Jack Cross, and he proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1950 to 1954 as a Bosun’s Mate. He was on a series of warships at first, then he moved over to the USS Yellowstone, a tender that served the Navy’s Sixth Fleet. He joined the Navy and saw the world! Now retired, Jack has put together the three PowerPoint presentations below, and has kindly permitted me to share them with you. The first was about the D-Day invasion, the second is about the end of the Pacific War, and the third is about Jack’s experiences in the Navy, which gives insight into Naval service in the early 1950s. I hope you enjoy them. THANK YOU, JACK!
