On December 7, 1941 Emily was at home in Preakness, New Jersey.
After college, Emily decided that she would join the Navy, and soon thereafter
became a “WAVE.”
Emily was stationed at Treasure Island, which was an island
in San Francisco bay. She was an instructor and taught sailors anti-aircraft
gunnery.
One off Emily’s most memorable wartime memories was standing
on the docks with her friends, and watching troopships with soldiers, sailors
and Marines coming through the fog, and everyone waving and cheering!
On her discharge from the Navy, Emily’s rank was Specialist
2nd Class.
