September 29, 1945

29th _____ Today we were still in Sasabo Harbor. This morning we had a sight seeing party. I was on it. We road around the harbor on a L.C.V.P. to land at the sights. we got over by the carriers. they are still in Jap hands but have no guns on them. One is completed but the other two are still building.
_____ This after noon they decided to give us liberty so half of the 1st & 4th sections went off. I had the watch & well probable get it tomorrow. We had to wear whites.
211 days out of state
____________
L.C.V.P. = Vehicle & Personnel Landing Craft—the kind that looks like a big shoebox with one end that can be lowered to make a ramp.

Photo shows sightseeing tour of Sasebo harbor. Impossible to tell for sure if Joe was in the photo, but he might be the one with the dark cap, center, bottom.
