Welcome to the America’s Veterans Stories podcast. Kim Monson is your host. WWII Veteran Charles Cram was seventeen years old when he joined the Navy. We are rebroadcasting an interview where he shares a story about the Japanese shelling California near Santa Barbara during WWII. Cram became a Navy Corpsman and landed on the shores of Iwo Jima after America’s initial assault. Injured during the battle, Cram continued to help wounded Marines and received the silver star for his heroic actions. _________________________________________________ Copyright 2023: America’s Veteran’s Stories Visit us at www.americasveteransstories.com America’s Veteran’s Stories airs on KLZ Radio every
