Father, Joseph Edward Weston, served in US Navy in Ww2. Would like to know what ship he served on and build a model kit for the grandchildren

do you recall his year of birth therivergnome..?

Thanks for responding.  He was born December 1924.

Thank you river..! I found a few muster rolls with the name of Edward Weston, but they did not have a middle initial, and due to not knowing his Naval service number/id, I did not want to just "guess" that this might be him. I am going to try and contact the Naval station over in Hawaii, and see if they are able to direct me to anyone possibly from an archives dept or other to see if they could assist me in trying to find any status/depployment/station info of your father's service. I used to work for a civillian defense contractor for almost 20 years of whom the US Navy was our customer,  until I had to resign from my position last year in order to take care of my other half who suffered a severe stroke back in April of last year, and of whom I am still providing care for. I had to learn in those 2 decades to be able to speak to anyone and eveyone, no matter their ranking, so making a phone call such as this would not even be a second thought. Will provide the info you gave me thus far, and let us see if they are, or are not, able to direct myself, or both of us, a path to follow.

Thanks so much for your help. My old brain gets confused as to what avenues to follow for information.  Like many vets, he never said much about his service. I do know he was at Pearl Harbor, I believe, after the attack.  He may be listed as Joseph E. Weston, Joe E. Weston or Joe Weston.  Someone in the family had done a pretty in depth family tree at obe point but we were unable to locate it and the family is all gone now. Again, thank you so much. It really is appreciated. 

Sincerely, Keith Weston 

• Not sure if my reply from yesterday went through or is waiting to be moderated. Thanks so much for responding and helping as it has been confusing trying to navigate other avenues. He may be listed under
• Joseph E. Weston ,
• Joe E. Weston, or
• Joe Weston.                                                                                                           I do know he has used each variation previously. Years ago someone in the family had done a family tree in which some military records were there, one I think was a letter from someone, admiral, sec of navy or the president thanking him for his service but, have failed to find it due to those family members are now long gone. Thank you again for all your help. I'd be lost without your assistance.
