VERY cool Larry!! I was looking for something exactly like
this, but couldn't find anything.
so interesting. When you think about it, what a daunting task it
must've been to figure out how to organize, outfit, train, and
move all the men on all those bases & ships - and so many more men
that would enlist or be drafted. Just thinking about the equipment
alone is unbelievable. Guns, ammo, helmets, tanks, jeeps, etc etc.
My dad's pictures from Nov 41 show the Cavalry was still
actually riding horses! After Pearl Harbor, things changed fast &
it's actually pretty miraculous HOW fast when you consider all
that needed to be done.
