Not a criticism, but to keep your family history accurate for the generations to come, you might want to revisit the concept that your dad was deployed to the South Pacific at age 17. If he was born 7/4/21, he was 17 in 1938, 2 1/2 years prior to Pearl Harbor.
My father also served in Europe under Patten and in North Africa. He introduced me to his son who lived in Massachusetts. He would have been 102 this year.
