257968 CPO. Oswald Capone US Navy USS Mount Vernon My father, Ozzie Capone, served on the USS Mount Vernon, from stories he told over the years. He was responsible for the kitchen. He served thousands of meals around the clock to feed the troops the Mount Vernon was transporting. Dad remembers being on Shore Patrol in France after it was liberated and being warned that they must keep the windshield of the jeep up. Why? Because there was thin wire strung across the roads that could decapitate the passengers! Horrible!! I still have his recipe book for the ship. Well worn and spotted with stains. Making pumpkin pie called for 20 huge cans of pumpkin! Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
