Contains a short history of Haslam's duties with the Navy during the war, including recruiting and hiring civilians to work on government contracts. Describes his gratitude at not being assigned overseas because it allowed him to maintain a close proximity to his family and because the aircraft carrier he was to be stationed on was later sunk. Discusses the support received from his family and church throughout the war, as well as his feelings on freedom, democracy, and world peace. Also includes a letter from Haslam's commanding officer thanking him for his wartime service. Photographs shows Haslam in full military dress with his wife and children.
