Days Gone By

Body
Like many other young men and women, rural St. Paul native Theodore “Ted” Brezina Sazama joined the Navy in 1942, not long after Pearl Harbor, leaving his family farm and his sweetheart, Dorothy Scott, to go do his part in World War II. From that day until the day he returned home in late 1945, Sazama kept a series of diaries describing his correspondence with family and friends back home…At sea, he served aboard the USS San Jacinto, a small aircraft carrier that survived numerous typhoons and years of wartime encounters near the Marianas and other Pacific islands, while protecting bigger and better-known ships of the American fleet…In late 2015, seventy-five years after WWII ended, Sazama’s diaries were finally published in a 331 page book called From Nebraska to Tokyo: World War II Diaries (1942-1945) of Ted Sazama.
