This is the only photo I have of the USS Ommaney
Bay CVE-79 burning after it was hit by kamikaze on January 4, 1945. After most
men got off the ship, it buckled, broke in half and sunk. Of the more than 700
men on board, 93 lost their lives, including our Uncle LT. JG. William Marsh.
It would be more than one month before his mother Genevieve Marsh, learned that
her son was missing-in-action.
