The Men on USCG LST 791

1944–1946

by
CDR. Reed Adams USCG (Ret.)

with contributions from the men who served on USCG LST 791

This is a story about some of the young Americans who survived the Great Depression, enlisted in their country's service for the duration of World War II, and then returned to help lead the nation in an economic boom that continued for more than half a century. All of the men whose stories are told here served together aboard the U.S. Coast Guard LST (Landing Ship, Tank) 791 in the Pacific Theater during WWII. I am Reed Adams. My wife, Mackie, and I live in Pleasanton, California. This year (2002) we will celebrate our 54th anniversary.
