Ohio Department of Veterans Services - Veterans Living History - Sandusky - Bob Petersen
 
Play
 
Often we learn from the past from books, photos and videos - but some of the richest sources of history are living right among us.

Bob Petersen joined the US Navy in 1942 and served in World War II until 1945 aboard the USS Yorktown. He is interviewed by Brandon Brandt and Pharaoh Williams of Sandusky High School.

Special thanks to Jennifer Friend and Amanda Baldwin, teachers at Sandusky High School in Sandusky, Ohio, and Teresa Auck, Ohio Dept. of Veterans Services, for making this project possible.
