Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome.
Tom, I am in the middle of searching for more info about the 6th Army Rangers - but most of the info I'm finding is regarding the Raid at Cabanatuan...which, to my understanding, was only 2 companies of the 6th Army Rangers and the Alamo Scouts. It's pretty hard to get info on the other companies, but I'm still working on it. :-)
I've also started researching my Dad's history in the Merchant Marines, which has been harder than I thought. They have no info without his "z" or "book" number and he didn't leave that info with us.
I will keep searching and will definitely let y'all know if I find anything new
