Dear Mr. Kirkham,

My name is Michel L. Penrod and my Father Claude Etho Penrod Jr. was stationed at Camp Farragut, Idaho. He was in the Navy from 1943 -1945. I have attached a couple of pictures I thought you might be interested in as my Dad had these in his dresser.

My Father was a 2nd class machinest mate and got out in 45 with his (Ruptured Duck) as a third class machinest mate. He served on 2 ships that I know of unless I do not have the names correct - The USS Kit Kus, and the USS Argonne in the 7th fleet off the coast of Australia.

My Father passed away in 1979 but raised me correct as I served in the Army for 7.5 years and spent a year in Viet Nam and Cambodia and several years afterwards at Fort Ord, Ca. as a Drill Instructor. I was in the Army from 1969-1975. I received the Bronze star w/V device and several other medals but enough about me.

I just thought you might like to see these pictures. Thank you for your Patriotism and devotion to duty and God Bless you.

I hope they come out good enough to see.

Sincerely,

Sgt. Michel L. Penrod
