Years Served: 1956-1959…I went from boy to man, serving aboard that ship. And much as I thought I hated it at the time, I now look back on that service with many fond memories and a great deal of pride. Yes, it was peacetime, but had we been called to fight we would have without hesitation.

Years Served: 1943-1945…My Dad served on the USS Bearss from 1943-1945 during War War II. He was honorably discharged after serving his time. He discharged as Seaman First Class. My Dad is 82 years old. He has just recently had to move to assisted living. He is still of sound mind and he dearly loves to talk about the USS Bearss, DD-654. Daddy was 17 years old when joined the U.S. Navy. His first son was born while he was overseas. This service time is a great memory of my Dads. We are very proud that we still have our Dad and that he got to serve our great U.S. of A. May God Bless all of our brave men who have served and are at present serving our country.
