CM.2 Forrest Walter Burns
United States Navy
My father, Forrest Burns served in the Navy during WW2. I am trying to see if there is anyone who may have known him, even briefly. He was on a destroyer, unknown to me, in the Pacific. He was wounded, in the leg, by his knee but survived. He was a carpenter's mate, class 2. I know this is a long shot, even for me. He ran away and worked in Georgia when he enlisted or got drafted before and after the war he lived in Texas. He would have been in the service between 1940-1945. I was young when he passed away and I don't know much about his military career. My Father was a good man. Served his country and took care of his friends and his family, until he passed away in October 1970 at the age of 55.
