World War II memoirs

We have been hearing scuttlebutt that some huge bomb was dropped on Hiroshima......

My dad, Marcel (Marshall) Sujkowski,, through his union at Grey Iron local 668 in Saginaw MI., took a class to learn Microsoft Word. Most people just typed things out of newspapers, magazines, etc. My dad took the opportunity to type out the stories from his journal he used in World War II - Pacific theater as a Navy Seabee.
He has sinced passed on and his obituary can viewed here.

To say the least... he was VERY PROUD of it. I took his file and inserted many of the pictures.

He inserted the first one, shown on the left.

This picture of my dad, his sisters had a photographer blow up and it has eventually hung on my parents furnished basement wall for as long as I can remember.

The guy said the shark swam around me two times! I said to the guy, “The shark probably was not hungry for any Polish meat”.

At about 15:30 hour we see a white double wing airplane landing on Yontan airstrip. I jumped on a truck going to Yontan airstrip to see what is going on at the airstrip. There were military police all around the airstrip, the airplane and around where our four star Generals- Douglas MacArthur, Joe Stilwell, Admirals William ‘Bull’ Halsey and Chester Nimitz were sitting around a table that was put up in a hurry. Out of the airplane two japs in khaki uniforms came out and then three high ranking Japs in white uniforms with samurai swords...
