Over many centuries, wars have been lost due to lack of food and
proper supplies for the troops. Without a way to survive, the
troops had to retreat rather than stay and fight. The same need
applied to ships at sea. "New York to Okinawa Sloooooowly" is the
true story of a soldier who served on one of the supply ships that
were vital to the survival of the troops in battle during Wolrd War
II.John Barnes graduated from high school in 1941. While many of
the kids in his class headed off to college, that was not John's
plan. He wanted to join the marines, but when he discovered that
his mother would not sign the papers, he set his sights on the US
Coast Guard, the same service as his favorite cousin, Frank. After
his basic training, he and his shipmates headed out on a journey
that would ultimately take them to Okinawa. Through the severe
storms, typhoons and enemy aircraft attacks, they got the job done
come hell or high water.
