Heartland Militaria show

Hello,

 

My name is Matt I am a retired Navy chief and also promote the Heartland Militaria shows.

 

Anyways my Cousin Dwight Fisk Roberts went down on the USS Arizona he was a fireman 1st Class. A few years ago my Uncle was telling me how Dwight was teaching him how to swim in Teaxs one summer as he was a very accomplished smimmer well apparently his leave ran out and he told my Uncle Donald that when he came back home he would help him some more sadly he never returned. I have been to the Arizona sevral times in my Navy Career and cant help thinking about him and all the others that perished that day.

 

I am just seeing if we have members here that have simular stories they can share about Arizona Sailors.

Sadly while this part of my family was experiencing war in the Pacific, the other half was busy fighting Russians.
