Friends Augie Calloway (left) and Rick Smedly of Beardstown look through windows into the wheelhouse of the USS LST-325 while touring the ship in Meredosia. The vessel is 329 feet long and carried out many missions during World War II, including delivering troops and vehicles for the invasion of France. During wartime, it carried a crew of 100 enlisted men and 10 officers. The vessel was docked in Meredosia for two days this week. September 14, 2011
