This site is dedicated to the memory of those who served on the U.S.S. Foote during World War II. Though the war ended years ago, the bond between these brave men never did. To this day the remaining men, their wives, children, grandchildren (and so on) still meet once a year for fun and fellowship.
Quotes from Ken Jones about Desron
23 (Little Beaver Squadron)
|
"No unit in the entire history of the United States Navy ever achieved such competence
and such confidence in so short a time and in such magnificent measure as did the gallant
squadron. Their victories in battle were great. Their victories in faith and dedication
were greater." "Many things are recorded of the United States Destroyer Squadron 23.The one thing never recorded of them is that they took counsel of their fears, for they did not. They were confident in competence,strong in faith, and for them, the bell never tolled and it never will. It pealed a clear signal of their courage, their conviction and their dedication even unto death. And in pealing for them, it peals also for thee and for me." |
