For both Warren and Bonnie:

Do you think it's easier or harder for veterans to return to regular society now, as compared to the 40s?

Thank you both for your service and for answering our questions! I have several for Warren, about his time on the USS Alabama:

  1. How hot was it below deck on the ship? I visited recently and it was toasty, even with air conditioners and no one running the galley or laundry.

  2. Was it constant chaos in the halls? Or was movement well organized? How many men did you have to squeeze past to get from one room to the next? And did you ever just jump over someone to get down the stairs?

  3. With approximately 2,500 crew mates at any given time, did you know just about everyone due to proximity, or was it pretty anonymous? There were a ton of Smiths, but did you happen to know (or remember) Richard W. Smith (he was my dad's uncle)?

  4. How loud was it when someone on another deck dropped something very heavy?

  5. Rumor has it, the ships had the best food. True?

  6. Those toilets... How did chili night go?

  7. Did you ever spend time in the brig?
