Navy Hymn

USS DeKalb County (LST-715) During the research to find out about William Thomas Riley, my father-in-law, who served on LST-715, I have communicated via e-mail and snail mail with many nice folks who have shared what they know. One of them served on board the LST-715 during WWII and sent me her history another served on board during the Korean War and sent me photographs. These pages are dedicated to the memory of William Thomas Riley, YN2. And, to all the Officers and Men of USS DeKalb County (LST-715), I wish you "Fair Winds and Following Seas."
