James Reardon Family
I have one consolation that lives with me today.
That God is near to them, in his own special
way.
So God in all Your mercy, keep near Thyself the
soul,
Of every Submariner, still on his final patrol.
Lord, this departed shipmate with Dolphins on
his chest
is part of an outfit known as the best.
Make him welcome and take him by the hand.
You'll find without a doubt he was the best in
all the land.
So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
will always keep their memories alive.

REMEMBERING PEARL HARBOR DECEMBER 7,1941
Remembering Pearl Harbor - National Geographic Education
Pearl Harbor Interactive ... Xpeditions is now archived in National Geographic Education's new website—natgeoed.org
My cousin, Pat Wolk Hamm's father, Joseph Wolk was a gunner's mate aboard the USS Tennessee during the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Ervin O. Schmidt was aboard the USS California moored at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. The aerial attack launched by the Japanese caused the ship enormous damage. Ninety-eight crew members were lost and sixty-one wounded. A motorized launch pulled Schmidt from the water. In the confusion he was listed as missing in action. Before his family learned differently, they held a funeral in his honor. Later, he join the USS Submarine Service, serving aboard the USS Saury, USS Torsk (SS-423) and the USS Balao.
