Charles W. Smith joined the US Navy in 1938. He was a sailor working as a Stone Keeper on board the USS Utah when she was attacked on December 7th, 1941 and survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. He remained in the Navy until he became the Commander of the Supply Ship USS Caster AK-81 which sailed in the Pacific and retired in 1968. We are proud to have had the opportunity to meet Charles on board the Home of the Brave Tour and his legacy in the Navy will live on in our Home of the Brave Museum!
