[StartQuote] Hello All, I just wanted to announce and share my excitement with the message board some information I was searching for was found. ***The message board's Steve, Nuge210 - Found and shared with me that my father in-law was assigned to PT boat #156 on Feb.23,1944 ** I cant explain how important it was to me to find that boat number. It just ate at me every time I read something about a particular boat or looked at a PT boat picture from the time and place. It was a sinking lost feeling. The thought always on my mind was he on that boat? I want to formally thank Steve from the bottom of my heart for remembering my posting to the message board and for taking the time to look for him. Thank You Steve ! From his military records I received from the National Personal Records and much help deciphering them from a long lost cousin, who served in Vietnam. He has helped me understand what the papers tell us or dont tell us. I know now that He (Robert Richard Rocheleau, #869-96-64 from Minneapolis MN) rate GM2c by the end of 1944. Was on PT156 and was in 4 Invasions during the year of 1944 in the South Pacific. I am calling out for anyone who may have any more information now that we know more. Any information on the activities or any photo's of #156 or anything at all about this time/boat/battles fought there in 1944 I would sure appreciate any thing you could share with me. Gratefully Yours, Julie [EndQuote]
