thanks so much guys!!! yea I was lucky when a friend who's a picker brought this to me from the Bay area back in May. had his scrap book, photos and personal effects, including a really cool pillow sham and a few other odds and ends, always wanted somewhere to put them, and noticed the last time I was at trader Sam's they had a display case set up, which gave me the idea!!

Very cool, pele Paul. I was in pearl harbor when they had Westpac in 1986. All the allied countries from the pacific rim had their naval vessels in the harbor during that time. Our small army outpost played a spirited game of soccer against an Australian navy destroyer crew.

Gotta love the Bill the Cat and Opus they carved into the plaque!
In 1943 Ray Harryhausen made a short stop motion film for the army called 'Guadalcanal' which you can watch on the Harryhausen Chronicles DVD.

This picture is Harryhausen working on the George Pal creation, Puppetoons.
