USS Bennington
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1
x 12" hardbound book was
a work-in-progress for two
years. It includes a general
history of the ship, rare pho-
tos, maps, personal experi-
ence stories, biographies
of veterans, and a roster of
Bennington Veteran'sAs-
sociation members.
Tributesto
the Fallen
Not all acts in keeping
the ship's memory alive are
performed by responding
to written requests. Some
involve travel, coordinating
events with other veterans
and well-thought out plan-
ning.
On May 26, 1954, in one
of the Navy's worst non-
wartime tragedies, 103
shipmates perished and
220 others were seriously
injured during a series of
explosions on the ship.
Bill Collins of New-
port, R.I a survivor, was
haunted by memories of
that fateful day when he
watched many of his ship-
mates lose their life.
Saying "We owed them
something," Collins initi-
ated a campaign to build
a permanent memorial to
those who died. Pires was
a member of the memorial
committee that included
Collins, Coley McGowan of
Duxbury, Mass and Gra-
ham Casserly of Alexandria.
Va.
The memorial was dedi-
cated May 26, 2004 -the
50th anniversary of the day
their ship became a floating
inferno. Its bronze plaque
is engraved with the names
and ranks of those who
died. It stands on a grassy
knoll in Fort Adams State
Park, overlooking the en-
trance to Narragansett Bay,
where the fire-riddled ship
made a port turn on its way
to Quonset Point Naval Air
Station.
Donna Hoey and her
brother were among those
attending the ceremony.
"I am sure this ceremony
will give my brother some
insight into the great man
he had for a father," she
said in a note to the com-
mittee. "Thank you and
God bless you!" But, efforts
in memorializing their
fallen didn't end on the day
of the dedication. It is an
on-going labor of love.
Collins planted cherry
trees by the monument,
which were in full bloom on
Memorial Day 2005.
In anticipation of the
Bennington's 19th reunion,
to be held Oct. 9-13, 2007
in Newport, Collins and
Pires planted two Japanese
cherry trees and placed
Belgium block and granite
stones at the site.
Pires recently returned
from Bennington, Vt. where
he participated in the an-
nual Bennington Battle
Days festivities, which com-
memorates the Battle of
Bennington.
An important ceremony
at the event was placing a
wreath at the Bennington
ship's bell in memory of
fallen shipmates who lost
their lives during World War
II and Vietnam War, during
the fire and explosions in
1953 and 1954, and those
members of the Bennington
Auxiliary Association, the
Benny Factors, who died.
Pires said a wreath-lay-
ing ceremony delivers one's
deepest tribute and dem-
onstrates that those who
are no longer here are not
forgotten.
"I believe it is most im-
portant to take time to re-
member those who fought
and served our country so
courageously," Pires said.
"Our veterans have enabled
us to live in this free nation
- we owe them a great debt
for our freedoms."
Dear Mr. President
If wishes are granted the
patriotic and proud veter-
ans, there will be another
USS Bennington in the
near future. Construction
is expected to begin in 2007
on the next aircraft carrier,
a CVN-78, which has yet to
be named.
"As historian for the USS
BENNINGTON Association
and a former crew-member
of this once proud lady of
the Atlantic and Pacific,I
support the Navy and all
former USS Bennington
veterans,as well as many
other citizens requesting
that the CVN-78 be for-
mally named USS Benning-
ton," Pires wrote in an Aug.
6, 2005 letter to President
George W. Bush.
"The writing campaign is
on-going," Pires said. "More
than 2,500 letters have been
sent in support of the USS
Bennington name."
Pires and his wife, Karen,
have lived in Osterville
for 30 years. They are the
parents of two children,Jeff
and Jennifer.
