That is a picture of the USS Bunker Hill is nearly being hit by a Japanese bomb on 19 June 1944.
My grandfather was in that battle aboard Admiral Marc Mitscher's flagship, the carrier Lexington. Mitscher was the commander of the Fast Carrier Task Force, Task Force 58.
A person from Charlestown, one of Boston's neighborhoods.....it's better than being from Southie and Charlestown is where the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought....on Breed's Hill.
I am 63, happily divorced, mother of four, grandmother of three. I am a registered Republican with fiscally conservative views; libertarian social views & ardently supportive of a strong US Military
I was born and raised in Boston and can not conceive of living anywhere else. I think Brian Lamb of CSpan is the sexiest man on TV. If you want my attention, you have to be aggressive and smart and you have to feed my head.
If you want an explanation for the pic, go to this post.

Excellent!
It took SB more than one guess on the phone yesterday and I ragged him........"What other pic would you expect from the Townie?"
Ummm. I hate admitting ignorance, but what is a "townie" and why should we expect anything from one?
