During the course of the rest of the war, Ralph Moore served on the se vessels:
USS Cummings
USS Raleigh (a good one for a North Carolina boy to serve)
USS Dobbin
USS Whitney
USS Rigel
He was discharged in 1947 and died in 1965.
On his discharge papers, his place of birth is listed as Kannapolis, North Carolina.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
