LT ROBERT LAWRENCE |
| GREGORY LAWRENCE wrote on December 28, 2010 City and State: SAN DIEGO CA Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father Lt. Robert Lawrence of the USN Naval Reserve flew combat missions during the Korean in his F9F Panther Jet off the USS Bon Homme Richard. He survived the war only to return home to the USA and loose his life in a peace time training flight in California on Sept 27, 1955, nine months after my birth. I possess a citation to my father from the then Commander of the 7th Fleet, Vice Admiral H. M. Martin awarding him the Commendation Ribbon with the Combat Distinguishing Device for his attacks on North Korean and Chinese Communist Forces on August 30, 1951 in the Wonson area. I also possess official Navy photos of his landing his jet on the carrier with only his right wheel down due to anti aircraft fire during another mission. Knowing little else about my dad, if you sailed with him on the Bon Homme Richard and knew him, I would much like to speak with you. Thank you. Gregory J.
