Description: Karen Fisher-Alaniz grew up barely listening to her father's stories of his childhood and of his time in the Navy, but on his 81st birthday, her father gave her two notebooks containing more than 400 pages of letters written to his parents during World War II. It was only then that she discovered the man she never knew and his secret role in the war.
