Jack Mindock served aboard the Destroyer USS John Rogers in the Pacific campaign. He served off of Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and patrolled off the coast of Japan. He also served on a secret mission up into the Suruga Wan bay to scout locations and factories to be bombed in case orders came to invade the mainland. Life on a destroyer is pretty rough and his ship was able to survive many kamikaze attempts on their fleet. Listen to his story and found out why men like Jack are truly "The Greatest Generation."
