Remembering those that were lost on the USS SIGSBEE DD-502  

This Memorial Page is dedicated to the following sailors who gave their lives serving our country on the USS SIGSBEE.  Their names and faces will forever remain in the hearts and minds of family, friends, and shipmates. Take a few moments to reflect on what their sacrifice meant.   

“War drew us from our homeland

In the sunlit springtime of our youth

Those who did not come back alive remain

in perpetual springtime – forever young –

And a part of them is with us always.” 

Author Unkown
