Clifford Emil Hehn joined the US Navy in 1939 when he was just 17 years old. At the time of the Pearl Harbor attack he was aboard the USS Langley, the very first American aircraft carrier, anchored off the Philippines.
Just two months later, while trying to bring P40 aircraft to the island of Java, she was attacked by Japanese bombers and sunk. Please listen to the story of Seaman First Class Clifford Emil Hehn and the final hours of the USS Langley.

During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.


Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. It is my hope that All letters in these podcasts will return to family. If you recognize the soldiers or families, please reach out to me at warandfamily@outlook.com and help me get the letters home
