Comments: Joe Albert Patterson joined the US Navy in 1953. Upon finishing boot camp he came home for at couple of weeks and was then deployed to Boston Harbor for service on the USS Leyte. He had only been aboard for a couple of weeks when there was an explosion below decks of the Leyte, and Joe was killed. He was 18 years old. We grew up together and fought the Japs & Hitler from the vacant lots around our neighborhood in East Texas. Joe had an older brother that was killed during WWII and who was buried at sea. He was a fine example of an American Youth ready to die for their country.

Walter Begovich? |

Tad Dolinar wrote on 2009-07-21 21:49:04.0
Comments: Does the name Walter Begovich sound familiar to anyone? He was my wife's father, and passed away when she was only 3, in 1969. She never got to know him, and really would like to learn something about her dad. From what research her sister has done, we believe he served aboard the USS Leyte in the early 1950's. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any memories of him, or a photo that could be emailed to us. Her mother never really asked for much information about his service to the country, so very little is known. It would mean the world to my wife. Thank You, and Thank You all for your service to our country.

Looking for info on Carroll Mohring |

Beryl Nulph wrote on 2009-02-12 13:23:34.0
Comments: My second cousin, Carroll Mohring, a pilot aboard the USS Leyte, in 1950, lost his life when the plane he was piloting, went off the side of the ship upon trying to land after a flight. I was young at the time and both his parents and his wife Jeanne (Kilgore) Mohring, are all deceased. They had no children, and I'm trying to do the genealogy on that side of the family, without much luck. Does anyone have this information?? They were from Massachusetts and Virginia Thank you.

Just looking for some old Navy buddies who might have served with my dad between the years of 54 -57. He also served on the USS Intrepid. Most of his friends called him Charlie or Chuck. My dad is still alive, he just doesn't know how to use the internet all that well. I'm showing him all these cool sites that can connect him to his days in the Navy.
