#VeteranOfTheDay Navy Veteran Clarence McClusky - VA News

We remember his sacrifice and salute his service, MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.

Great hero.

Although CDR Rochefort and his code-breakers at Station Hypo made the cryptographic break through that gave us the chance, it was the actions of brave aviators like CDR McClusky who seized that opportunity and turned the tide of the Pacific War. Sometimes history turns on unlikely events like following a stray destroyer back to its fleet.
