My Father, Corporal Lon Rhoades was in the 107th Supply Train E Co. on the Tuscania when it was torpedoed. Many thanks for this wonderful website for keeping the memories of these American soldiers alive. My father has been dead for many years, but to see his name listed with all the other brave soldiers is awesome!!
