He enlisted in the Navy on August 18, 1942, at the age of 21. He trained at San Diego, CA. and Oahu, Hawaii. He went overseas on September 28, 1942.
Her served in the Navy for 26 months before he was killed in action on October 9, 1944 at the age of 23. He earned the Purple Heart Medal posthumously and the Asiatic Pacific Theater Medal. He is Buried in the military Cemetery in Hawaii.
We had a great 6.20 Miles walk today. We walked by Lake Holiday and then made a stop by the Boat Anchor at Boats & Harbors before stopping at the War Memorial Park down town. We then headed back towards the house. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero.
Navy S1 William Lyle Hulsebus will not be forgotten !
