My name is Bartholomew B. Beyers and I am a World War II Navy Veteran. I enlisted in the navy when I was 17 and am now 89 years old. I have 6 children, 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. My wife, Nancy and I got married just before I went off to war and we have been married ever since. This year will mark our seventy-second anniversary. I was on the ship U.S.S. Dewey which is called a Destroyer. My rank was a Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) and was in the service for 5 years . I fought in two major battles which were the battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa which was the last battle of the war before the Americans dropped an Atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
