Rear Admiral Edward Baxter Billingsley's book, The Emmons Saga, captures the deck plate routine of the Sailors aboard Emmons as she intersected with the great events of World War II and influenced the course of history. Any reader who has ever served afloat will recognize the authenticity of every detail, and will appreciate the complex relationship of an individual ship with war and diplomacy.

This is a history of brave men - members of 'the greatest generation" - who operated in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of World War II. Admiral Billingsley provides us a microcosm of World War II naval warfare, spanning the Battle of the Atlantic, the North African Campaign, the Normandy Invasion and the Battle of Okinawa. Historic facts and colorful sea-stories depict life aboard a naval combatant and illuminate the bonds of friendship and trust that developed among this group of young, inexperienced, and untested youth. As members of that 'special" generation pass on at a rate of over 1,000 each day, it is important that the virtues and sacrifice that they epitomize be remembered by future generations of Americans.

USS EMMONS rose from the depths of obscurity in 2001 when her gravesite was discovered off the shores of Okinawa and charted by American recreational divers. Her rediscovery has focused renewed interest both in the United States and Japan into the character of the American youth of that generation. The Emmons Saga, originally published a decade and a half ago, has been revised and up-dated, and it deserves a place of honor on the bookshelf of every maritime historian and lover of the sea.

The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used! We’ve been so happy with the other JOLLY CHEF products that we decided to try this larger pack of dinner plates too, and honestly, these are the best disposable dinner plates I’ve ever used. They’re sturdy, hold up well with heavier meals, and don’t get flimsy or soggy like many disposable plates do. I also appreciate that they’re made from sugarcane fiber instead of foam or plastic-coated paper products. They’ve been especially great for RV trips, family gatherings, and busy days when saving water and skipping a sink full of dishes is a huge plus. The large bulk pack is convenient to keep on hand, and I like that they’re eco-friendly and compostable while still feeling durable enough for real meals. Very happy with this purchase. I hope that this review helps you decide. I know it’s what I would’ve liked to hear when picking out compostable disposable plates.

Great paper plates
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I am very happy with the purchase of these plates as a healthier alternative to the coated paper plates you can buy in store. I was worried that they would get flimsy with wet foods but in my experience they hold their form and do the job intended and are durable. The size is great and allows a lot of food. I feel like thw price is fair and the quality is good. They are not decorated like the plates that are in store but I don't care about it being pretty. No harmful plastic or coating. Will definitely be a reoccurring purchase for our household.

These plates are so awesome! They are perfect for outdoor gatherings and for times you just don't want to wash dishes. They are very durable and strong. They don't leak through and they look nice too. I'm definitely buying more when I need them.

Great price great value and the quality is good. You can use them in a microwave no matter how you use them. They’re durable. They don’t break down and the flavor stays the normal. It doesn’t take the flavor away.
