We (Walk Among Heroes) are honored to welcome Episode 26 guest, Mr. Bill Lozano. Mr. Lozano served in the Navy Pacific Fleet during World War II, as a radarman on the mighty battleship, USS Washington. The USS Washington had one of the most impeccable battle records during World War II, providing fire support for invasions in the Marianas, Palaus, Leyte, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, as well supporting the aircraft carriers on their raids through the South Pacific.
Mr. Lozano enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was sent to radar school to learn the brand-new technology first developed and utilized during World War II. Working from high atop the battleship in the radar tower, Mr. Lozano witnessed first-hand the major attacks and engagements by the USS Washington. He also witnessed several Kamikaze attacks and was close enough to witness the horrors of Iwo Jima with his naked eye. The mighty USS Washington plowed through the Pacific, and Mr. Lozano had one of the most unique perspectives of any guest we’ve ever interviewed on this show.
Following his service in the U.S. Navy, Mr. Lozano eventually graduated from Law School and served a long, successful career as an attorney. A lifelong resident of San Antonio, Texas, he appears decades younger than his age, and he stays very active.
This episode will consist of two parts. 26A will feature Mr. Lozano’s service in the Navy, and 26B will go back to his childhood, life after the military, and lessons learned throughout his amazing life. It is truly an honor to share Mr. Lozano’s story. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
