Born as Antonio Jesus Rios the son of Jesus Rios and Cresencia Reza. Tony who is my Dad served in the Navy during world war II from a news clipping from his Navy album: Colusan Was On Carrier Fighting Off Jap Planes
ABOARD THE USS PETROF BAY IN THE PACIFIC --=---- Anthony Rios," seaman, first class, USNR, 230 Clay street. Colusa, • Calif., helped polish off Japanese planes and shipping when this small aircraft carrier fought at Okinawa, Iwo Jima and in other engagements that sometimes carried her within 15 miles of enemy-held bases. Fighting of suicide planes, , torpedoes, bombs, strafing and surface and underseas attacks has been a daily routine for the Petrof Bay since she ' first ' tangled with the Japs in September, 1944, at Palau. - ' Pilots from this carrier have knocked down 20 Jap planes" and the ship's gunners have accounted for five more. Fly flags painted on the bridge signify that three Jap cruisers, a destroyer and a merchant ship ' have fallen victims to the PetrOf Bay.
My dad when young had many women in his life and had other children that I am to this still looking for. When he united with my Mother Virginia L Bradford (1939-2002) they had three sons. Michael Anthony, Roy Allen and Steven Lee. My dad was always there for us when it counted and taught us well. After the war he drove tractor trailers for a living and enjoyed it very much. He had an adventurous spirit about him. May you rest in piece and never be forgotten and know we think of you often.
