Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
Though you died many years before I was born, your story has been passed on through so many of those who knew and loved you. Thank you for your service and the bravery you showed during that time. Your country, the Navy, those who served with you on the U.S.S. DuPage, the rest of your family, and I could not be more proud of who you were and the legacy you have left behind. May you rest in peace...."Non sibi sed patriae" (Not self but country).
