[Stonewall Jackson]

The closest I have in my family is my grandfather's cousin, SM1 Lewis Dodds, who was lost when the heavy cruiser Houston was sunk during the Battle of the Sunda Strait on March 1, 1942.

My great-grandfather had died in a hurricane when my grandfather was only 9 months old, so he was raised by his uncles and grew up with Lewis and his other cousins.

My dad was on the Marblehead which was fighting with the Houston in that area, the Marblehead was already out of the fight by 3 weeks and trying to get to Ceylon by the time of the Sunda Strait though.
