Other Comments:


I am a member of the Reunion Association - U. S. S. General H. W. Butner, AP 113 (1943-1960).  When I first came to the United States, Jan-Feb 1953, it was on board the U. S. S. Butner. My father, Col. Armel Dyer, U. S. Army Ret., was the OIC of the troops during the voyage from Bremerhaven, Germany to Brooklyn, N. Y.
