Seaman Clarendon Hetrick USN (deceased)

Clarendon Hetrick was born 26th May 1923, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the age of 17 on his parents' signature and reported for training in San Diego in the latter half of 1940. He joined the USS Arizona in January 1941. On the morning of 7th December, Hetrick was in the latrine, about half-shaved, when the Japanese attack began. 'I ran out on the forward deck, looked up and saw one airplane going across the sky with a red meatball on it. I knew what was going on right away then.' Hetrick headed for battle station below deck, where he had been trained to help move ammunition for the big guns. As the ship began to fill with smoke, the men were ordered to leave. The Arizona was already starting to sink as Hetrick made his way to the edge of the deck. He could see no lifeboats, but he watched as other crewmen leaped into the water and half-swam, half-walked the short distance to Ford Island, where the Arizona had been moored. He looked at the water and jumped. Hetrick was assigned to the USS Lexington, an aircraft carrier. He would later join the USS Saratoga, fighting in battles across the Pacific Ocean until the end of World War II. He was injured in fighting at Iwo Jima. In 1949, his stint with the Navy finished, Hetrick enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He died on 18th April 2016, aged 92.
