I just happened to come across this site. My brother, Rupert W. Walton went down with this ship, after sustaining burns and sent to sick bay. I don't blame anyone, as fighting of every type in those days was ancient, compared to now. But I would LOVE to connect with anyone, including the captain of the Chicago, if anyone is still living. Thank you!

VERY proud of my dad Clifford I. Snyder and all who served. He was aboard the USS Chicago when she was hit and went down. He spent time in a Australian hospital (I think). He passed away in 1978. So, I was young and how I wish I would have asked more questions. I would sit with him and watch the old film reels on TV. I do have his Shellback! He was also stationed in Honolulu out on maneuvers when the Japanese struck. Thanks to ALL for your service!

Famous WW2 Quote

Okay, none of you are going to like this, but you will get over it. LOL! What this former officer did was wrong, dead wrong. So what, he did not receive a jail sentence but lost his job and means in which to earn a living during a DEPRESSION which can be just as fierce as a prison sentence. No job no income and chances are he will lose everything.
