Joshua “Red” Derosett
1924-2008
It saddens me greatly to report that Joshua “Red” Derosett AOCM USN Ret., a truly “Great American” passed on Feb. 29, 2008 in Lemoore, CA. A 30 year veteran of the US Navy, Red was one of my most “Unforgettable Shipmates”. His distinguished career included tours of duty in VP-14, VH-4, VF-193, CVW-21, VA-125, VP-4 and VF-152.
Among his awards are the Navy Distinguished Flying Cross with 4 Stars, the Navy Air Medal with 24 Stars, the Navy Good Conduct Medal with 8 Stars. I encourage all to view his tribute and his “Service Memories” on The Navy Log section of the United States Navy Memorial web site http://www.lonesailor.org/index.php
