Dale and George

George King (Koenig) and I served aboard LCI 222.  Since the name 'Koenig' was German he wanted to change his name to an English name because we were at wart with Germany. Since Koenig means King in German he went by that name later after the war.  George came in with the 3rd crew who served on my ship.  We were only together about 6 months.  This photo was taken in Hawaii on the way home from the war.  George has since passed away now but he lived right across the street from the Presbyterian Church in little town in Wisconsin.
