Navy

ServiceI can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: “I served in the United States Navy.”

- John F. Kennedy

Served: December 24, 1942 –June 5, 1946

U.S. Naval Training Station – February 22, 1943

The U.S.S. Joseph E. Connelly

USS Joseph E. Connolly (DE-450) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The primary purpose of the

destroyer escort was to escort and protect ships in convoy, in addition to other tasks as assigned, such as patrol or radar picket.

The U.S.S. Dionne

USS Dionne (DE-261) was an Evarts-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy during World War II. She was sent off into the Pacific Ocean to

protect convoys and other ships from Japanese submarines and fighter aircraft. She performed escort and antisubmarine operations in dangerous battle areas and returned home with six battle stars, a high number for a

ship of her type.

The love of a family is one of life’s greatest blessings.

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

Our family is a circle of strength and love…

Family...like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one.

Family…where life begins and love never ends.

appreciation that we say thank you for the many
