I am the grandson of Theodore H. Galland, Theo served as the Executive Officer on the USS San Juan during the war. He passed away before I was born, as a result, I have had to get to know him through the stories of my parents and his friends. Unfortunately, information from his military service has been sparse due to the age of my parents at the time. I am eager to learn more about the San Juan and hopefully come across my grandfather in some Naval records database. Do you have any insight regarding possible online resources? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, 
Philip T. Galland. I can be reached at
