[Letter from T. N. Carswell to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower - November 13, 1952] (open access)

[Letter from T. N. Carswell to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower - November 13, 1952]

A letter written to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, Augusta, Georgia, from T. N. Carswell, dated November 13, 1952. Carswell advises of his support and money given to Eisenhower's candidacy because he was disgusted with "the mess in Washington" advising Eisenhower that "were it known you had availed yourself of General MacArthur's first rate knowledge of Korean and related affairs, it would appreciably strengthen public confidence and afford wide and great satisfaction". Carswell continues, "The Korean war is of our meddling. Desertion now, without justice and honor, is as unthinkable to you as to me."

Oral History Interview with Al D'Agostino, April 19, 2012

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Al D’Agostino. D’Agostino joined the Merchant Marine in 1945 and received training in Brooklyn. Upon completion, he was assigned to the SS Monterey where he worked as a butcher. His first trip to the Pacific was transporting European troops, who were unhappy about the looming invasion of Japan. The war ended while the Monterey was in transit, and the soldiers returning home were a much happier bunch. Even more joyful was the reunion of families when the Monterey picked up war brides and their babies from all over the Pacific and brought them back to the States. He transferred to a Liberty ship that brought German war criminals back to the States from South America, although he believes that the majority of the passengers were actually concentration camp survivors. D’Agostino was discharged but was drafted again during the Korean War and served as a radio relay operator atop a mountain in dangerous and harsh winter conditions.

Before retiring, he moved …
