USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Hamrick, Russell Clayton †

Service Dates: WWII 1942? to end.

Rank/Duty Assigned: tail gunner USS Lexington

My Dad served as tail gunner during World War II. He didn’t speak with me about it much, but would love to hear from someone who remembers him, or has heard about him. He passed away in a car accident in 1981. He was from Clay County, West Virginia. He met Mom (Norma L. Frame) after the war, & they were married in 1950. Mom is now 80, and they had 8 children who range from 57 to 38. I sincerely hope there is still someone out there with memories to share with us kids, but more importantly to share with Mom. Thank you. LorraineHamrick Brown
