152.163.188.229
I AM THE OLDEST DAUGHTER OF CARLOS CLIFTON (NIP) HOWARD, DECEASED, WHO SERVED ON THE SUBMARINES TAMBOR, TREPANG, TILEFISH, AND DRUM DURING AND AFTER WWII. HE WAS ALSO A GOLDEN GLOVES BOXING CHAMPION AND BOXED FOR THE NAVY. HE WAS AWARDED THE SILVER STAR FOR SINGLE-HANDEDLY SAVING THE TAMBOR FROM DESTRUCTION, AS A GUNNER'S MATE FIRST CLASS. ACCORDING TO HIS CITATION, THIS HAPPENED DURING THE TAMBOR'S NINTH WAR PATROL FROM JANUARY 5 TO MARCH 5, 1944. HE ALSO LOST A BROTHER, RAYMOND, WHO WENT DOWN WITH THE GRAYLING IN 1943. MY TWO SISTERS AND I ARE TRYING TO LOCATE ANYONE, WHO MIGHT HAVE KNOWN HIM OR KNOWN OF HIM DURING THE WAR. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANY ARCHIVES WITH FILM FOOTAGE OF SUBMARINES RETURNING FROM WAR PATROLS OR FOOTAGE OF BOXING MATCHES WITH THE NAVY DURING THE WAR. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT
