The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Stanley Holzhauer. Holzhauer joined the Navy in late 1943 and received basic training at Farragut. Upon completion of signal school, he was assigned to a beach party with the USS Hansford (APA-106), assisting the 27th Regiment of the 5th Marine Division. He was trained in hand-to-hand combat at Camp Pendleton before deploying to Iwo Jima, where he landed in the sixth wave. On the way in, a shell went through his tank and exploded in the water behind him. The volcanic ash on the beach made it so that his tank could not land, so Holzhauer exited into the water, losing all but his generator and signal lamp. The first message he relayed back to the ship was a request for Marston matting so that tanks could maneuver over the beach. His party suffered heavy casualties, immediately losing their two radiomen, doctor, and assistant beach master. Holzhauer survived and continued to serve aboard the Hansford until his discharge in April 1946. He attended school on the GI Bill and became the dean of students at a large high school. Before the war, his family had been so poor …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with John McKelfresh. McKelfresh joined the Navy soon after the war began, leaving behind his career as a schoolteacher. Upon completion of officer training at Northwestern, he was assigned to the USS Hansford (APA-106) as assistant navigator and legal officer. In reviewing ingoing and outgoing mail, he consoled the many recipients of Dear John letters. He also had to let go of a highly skilled navigator who committed the indiscretion of broadcasting the ship's whereabouts via coded letters to family. At Okinawa, a young sailor was killed in an innocent but reckless competition to see who could unload their landing craft the quickest. McKelfresh chose to record the death as merely accidental, casting no blame on anyone. After the war ended, McKelfresh visited a holy site in Japan and was stunned by its beauty and tranquility. He returned home and was discharged soon after.
