Petty Officer George “Curt” Davison (USN)(99 years old) served as an Electrician’s Mate on the Destroyer Escort U.S.S. Rudderow that travelled to nearly 30 locations in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from 1943 to 1946.
Cpl Tom Lacey grew up on Wheaton, IL and enlisted into the Army on July 15, 1943.  After completing Basic at Camp Fannin, Tom volunteered and completed Radio School (FM SCR 300s) at Camp Maxey and was then assigned Company C, 99th Infantry Division.

WWII commemoration event in honor of the 80th anniversary of the end of the war (V-J Day). We’ll be celebrating our WWII veterans—five of whom are expected to attend.  The evening will feature an all-American fried chicken dinner from Porter’s Chicken, a fascinating talk by WWII expert Dr. George Despotis including introductions and stories about our WWII vests in attendance, and a lively 1940s-style musical tribute. Proceeds will support St. Louis Honor Flight, with additional funds raised through a raffle and silent auction benefiting the Gateway WWII Museum Foundation, founded and directed by Dr. Despotis. He was also instrumental in creating the WWII memorial in Sunset Hills
