RECOGNIZING DANIEL REESE GRIME, USMC
______
HON. GREGORY F. MURPHY
of north carolina
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. Daniel Reese Grime. Mr. Grime was born on March 31, 1930, and graduated high school in Monaca, Pennsylvania, where he lettered in football and worked at the St. Joe Minerals Corporation steel mill.
Mr. Grime enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1952, where he went through basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and completed the Sea School course at Norfolk Naval Base in Portsmouth, VA. It was at Norfolk Naval Base where Mr. Grime prepared for his duty aboard the USS New Jersey. He was soon promoted to Corporal and given the task to man the 16" and 5" guns aboard the prestigious battleship BB-62. While aboard the USS New Jersey, Mr. Grime was a part of one of the most famous battleships involved in the Korean War. The USS New Jersey took part in numerous engagements providing Naval gunfire support, which played a crucial role in disrupting enemy supply lines.
Mr. Grime would spend a total of six years in the Marines, including several years in the Marine Corps Reserves. Mr. Grime would go on to marry his loving wife, Janet, who he met while on leave in Washington, D.C. Together they raised four children. Mr. Grime would eventually return to work at the St. Joe Minerals Corporation steel mill and served as a volunteer fireman and as a volunteer at his local school system. He passed away on June 3, 2022, as a proud Marine and proud citizen of the United States.
Madam Speaker, please join me today in remembering the life and memory of Mr. Daniel Reese Grime and all he has done for our beloved country.
