ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, JUNE 28 AND THEREAFTER - In this June 15, 2015 photo, Paul McDevitt poses in his office where he spent five years researching and writing a book about his father, the late Joseph B. McDevitt, after receiving a box full of old letters his father had written during World War Il. The letters revealed a perilous career as the leader of a group of landing boats from the attack transport ship USS Leon. It was the elder McDevitt’s job to lead the boats to shore under heavy enemy fire, unload the Marines, and then return to the Leon so the whole process could be repeated.
