| Message | My Uncle Bill (RM2C Claude William Lattin) was on the Houston and went down with her March 1, 1942. I was named in his honor and am proud of that connection, though I would have much preferred to know him personally. All of the men and women in the US military are my heroes, most especially my son, Air Force EOD TSgt Doug Moore, who has so far served 2 tours in Iraq, 1 in Pakistan following 9/11/01, and also volunteered for a compassionate duty assignment in Laos to help identify and return MIA remains from the Viet Nam era. Thank you, Uncle Bill, for being a wonderful role model! |
