Absolutely. I would keep the description historically interesting but careful not to make claims we can't verify, especially regarding the exact age of the photograph and the sailor's service.

Vintage WWII U.S. Navy LST-758 Framed Ship Photograph – Iwo Jima & Okinawa
Offered is a vintage framed military photograph featuring USS LST-758, a U.S. Navy Landing Ship, Tank (LST) that served during World War II.
The photograph shows LST-758 underway at sea and is mounted with the name and service information of:
Mysses P. Wade, MOMM2
U.S. Navy
The mount also features "INVASIONS: ★ ★" along with a display of service ribbons. The two invasion stars correspond with the ship's documented WWII participation in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa campaigns.
LST-758 was commissioned in August 1944 and served in the Pacific during WWII, including the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The ship later continued its service after WWII and was eventually renamed USS Duval County (LST-758).
This is a great piece for a WWII military collector, U.S. Navy collector, LST enthusiast, naval history collector, or maritime display.
