My father-in-law, Mr. M. H. Green, Jr of Raleigh NC, served on the Destroyer Escort USS Rich (DE 695) which sank on June 8, 1944. The ship struck three mines off the coast of Normandy and sank within minutes. Eighty-nine members of her crew were lost that day. Read the full story here. You can read Mr. Green's story here.
