James Brower
US Navy USS Boise
My grandfather, James Brower, served on the Boise during WW2. He told me stories out being in Algiers, and having a Stuka drop a bomb on him off Italy, and the Battle of Surgawa Strait. After my grandfather died I met a man who served on Battleship Pennsylvania, and he told me how his ship was in Surgawa too. He said remembers the Boise in action a few thousand yards away. It was a great conection to grandfather's past.
