Beezley, was the son of a Nebraska farmer who enlisted in the Navy in 1928. He spent his early Navy years on the wrestling teams aboard the USS Mississippi, USS California, and the USS Richmond. He won many wrestling honors, including two All Navy Championship belts. In 1933 he was transferred to the USS Arizona where he spent six and a half years as a member of her crew. While on board he was assigned to the second division and served as the ships’ wrestling team trainer and coach. He married his sweetheart, Frieda H. Hahne, in 1936 and they made their home in Long Beach, California. In October 1939, he was transferred to the repair ship USS Medusa. In August of 1941, the home port of the USS Medusa was changed from San Pedro to Pearl Harbor. On the morning of December 7th, while reading the Sunday paper and enjoying a cup of coffee, the attack began. Beezley was in charge of the forward battery and the 51 caliber surface gun. The officer with the keys for the magazine was ashore. Since the magazine was locked, he gave the order to take the fire ax to the lock. The USS Medusa was credited with sinking one midget sub and downing two planes. After the attack, the USS Medusa went to work in her primary role as a repair ship. Beezley was promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer in 1943 and went on to serve in Bougainville, Guadalcanal, and the Solomon Islands. He retired in 1958 as a Lieutenant after a distinguished military career. Submitted by daughter, Carol L. Gladys.
