“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Gerard E. Zinser, member of Lt. John Kennedy's PT 109 crew during World War II, signs his account of serving under JFK during the boat's sinking. In a famous 1943 incident in which the boat was run down by a Japanese destroyer, Kennedy heroically saved a fellow crew member by holding the man's life jacket between his teeth while swimming to safety. The typed 8.5'' x 11'' account ends, ''…In all my 20 years of Naval service I met many good officers, but none could equal John F. Kennedy. [signed] Gerard E. Zinser''. Fine condition.
