I tried to pick him up, pretty weak, dropped him, tried to pick him up again, dropped him again.
Years later, when I found out who he was, it was some 30 years before I even found out who he was.
We were sitting in his kitchen Sunday morning in Chicago, and his family has gathered around.
I don't want to know what had happened to Dad.
I'm trying to tell him, and his name was Dave McFagan, and he kind of blurted out, said, I wouldn't be hurt nearly as bad if you wouldn't have dropped me so many times.
He had been topside in the rocket from one of the air attacks that exploded very close to him and flying you back into the bulkhead.
He's wounded from that.
He's in a lot of pain.
He's thinking, I've got to get to my GQ station.
His GQ station was down below decks.
He gets down there just as they slam the hatch shut and bolt it down.
He's sitting on the ladder way with his head in his hands, hurting badly when the torpedo struck.
Slammed him back into the ladder way and made a mess out of his spine.
He's still alive, but barely and confined to a wheelchair now.
Joe Lentini passed away from a heart attack some three years ago.
The book Assault on the Liberty credits me with diving underwater and freeing Joe Lentini's leg.
That was actually a sailor named Bobby Schnell that did that.
Freed his leg, carried him topside.
There was some conversation that I carried a man out, went back down.
Senior enlisted man, Stan White, said, Sarge, you can't go back down there.
