>From scrapbook in possession of the Pierce County Historical Association (please note, I am just posting, I have NO further info on this family) Newspaper is possibly the Spring Valley Sun, date unknown. HE'S ONE OF OUR BOYS Orin A. Anderson G.M. 3/c, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Anderson, joined the Coast Guard in November of 1943 and was sent to the Coast Guard Training Station at Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, N.Y., for his initial training. After his boot training Orin was sent to Caskato L.B. Station at Nantucket, Mass., from which station he operated-with a short period out of Boston-until about a year ago. His ship is a small corvette type boat meant for anti-submarine patrol and convoy duty. During the time Orin has been on this boat he has had the experince of being torpedoed-by areal (sic) torpedos-twice. Though the ship was damaged both times the enemy failed to sink the vessel and it is still in active duty. Another experience was going through a severe storm off the Atlantic Coast. The storm was so severe that two ships of the same class foundered with all hands but Orin's came through even though the mast dipped water on occasion. Orin is at present on duty in the Pacific.
