USS SLC..."Enlisted Navy"...Heyward Otis Dunham, SF1c
Heyward O. Dunham passed away on Sat., July 14th, 2001
Jan. 2001
My name is Daniel L. Dunham. I am the eldest son of SF1c H. O. Dunham.
My father is still alive but is not in good health. He is 77 on his last
birthday. He currently has Parkinson's on top of the nerve damage he
received during the war.
I would appreciate any assistance you could give me to see about getting
him membership in the Pearl Harbor Survivor Association. He has been
told he doesn't qualify because they were not in the harbor yet that
morning. The problem is, there are other members of the crew who have
been received in membership. I know it doesn't sound like a lot for
some but I feel if I could get this for him before he dies.
I understand the importance of remembering our veterans. I am a life
time member of Vietnam Veterans of America and a life time member of
Disabled American Veterans. I retired from the US Air Force in July
1987.
