Looking at the original pic with a magnifying glass, the first four letters are M-a-d-e , and then I think, a "P" - so, Made of Pee - must be Old Milwaukee!

The damaged Dewey dry dock is towed 800+ miles toward Pearl and then suddenly something happens off Niihau. [:(]

Dear Mom; You may not get this till we make Pearl but I have become a real sailor on our dangerous journey from Manila. Tomorrow, the Chief is going to let me manage the below deck part of the purge and refill of the fire fighting system. Well, gotta go. Mom, Talk to you soon. Ensign Pulver, USN

Nice work Disco. Check this out. quote: During World War II, Hudepohl Beer was among the beers selected by the War Department for use by U.S. troops in the Pacific. Special olive green Crowntainer cans, produced by Crown Cork and Seal Company, but bearing a Hudepohl label, were filled at the Cincinnati brewery then packed in cases with straw before being shipped overseas. Many cases of Hudepohl Beer were actually parachuted to troops on islands throughout the Pacific.
