Sgt. A.F. Kelly Murray, a Hoosier Hibernian in the Great Pacific War is the story of an 18-year old from the Irish east side of Indianapolis who spent three years in the Marine Corps at a very critical time for the world. Kelly Murray, an Indianapolis firefighter, died in 1978 at the age of 53 years without revealing in any detail his Marine Corps service years. Like many other World War II Veterans, perhaps Kelly felt the less said, the better. Cruel memories of horror best forgotten. Thus, the story is told largely from letters and photographs that remained in his U.S.M.C. sea bag for over 60 years. The correspondence and pictures provide an interesting perspective on Kelly Murrays Great Pacific War journey, and the news from home that followed him. It is a simple tale of a true life yet modest hero, who quietly served his beloved country.
