Submarine Service. US, Spain. Commander two conventional submarines, Commander Fleet Ballistic
Submarine, James Madison. JAMES DEXTER KEARNY April 11, 1926-January 24, 2012 James Dexter
Kearny, age 85, died January 24th. He was born in Washington, DC. A naval career took Commander Kearny
to a number of ports before retiring to Atlanta in 1996, which he made his home. Dex graduated in 1947 from
Yale with a degree in engineering. He spent the next 23 years in the U.S. Navy, starting on destroyers then
serving on submarines in the Atlantic. He was the first commander of the USS James Madison SSBN 627, a
nuclear powered Polaris Missile submarine based in Rota, Spain. Following his military career, he spent the
next 23 years with Merrill Lynch retiring 1989 as a Vice President. Dex was married to Laura Anne Moore,
daughter of Rear Admiral John R. Moore, himself a distinguished WWII submarine commander. The Navy
runs in the family. His grandfather and great grandfather were Academy graduates and admirals, the latter
served the Union during the Civil War. He is survived by his brother Richard A. Kearny of McLean, Virginia;
his sister Edmonia M. Kearny of Washington, DC; and his children Patricia Katz of Atlanta, Rev. Dr. James D.
Kearny, Jr. of Seattle, Washington; Anne K. Hardin of Nashville, Tennessee; and John R. Kearny of
Lawrenceville, Georgia, and 11 grandchildren. Dexter was a scout master, president of the PTA, member of
the Ansley Kiwanis, past president of the Yale Club of Georgia. Upon retirement he volunteered for over a
dozen years for Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta, an organization dedicated to teaching adults to read, and the
Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher. Golf with his buddies, an annual fishing adventure, travel and
enjoying his grandchildren took up his retirement years. The family will receive friends from 7:00 to 9:00pm
at Pattersons at Oglethorpe Hill Chapel, 4550 Peachtree Road Northeast, Atlanta, on Thursday, January 26.
A memorial mass will be at All Saints Catholic church at 11:00am on Friday, January 27. In lieu of flowers, a
contribution to the American Heart Association or Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta, 256 Sycamore St., Decatur,

I, also, remember the whole student body followed the war in the Pacific daily from December
8, 1941 through about December 22 because Major Devereaux had two sons at Landon, one in about the
class of '45 and the other about the class of '43. And, lo and behold, when the United States Army gave me
an all-expenses-paid trip to Korea, the Army plane taking me and other guests to Tokyo's airfield, landed to
refuel on Wake Island. As we walked around the island during refueling, we saw three things: a small LST
type craft with the Rising Sun on its side on the beach beside the runway; the island is small and flat; and
there was no place for those Marines and others to hide from the naval shelling, bombing and strafing they
endured for about 13 days. Being there and seeing where Major Devereaux and all those men went through
such hell for so long was a great experience for me.

After training at Fort Riley Kansas for a year, I was sent to Camp Kaiser in Korea, 7th Division, just below the
DMZ, where I was an infantryman, an MP and finally a supply clerk. I left as a Pfc because there were too few
openings for me to be promoted to E-4, I left the Army in June 1962. Interesting enough, some of those
about to leave decided to take an extra year of service in that combat laboratory in Vietnam. Had they left
after that year, they would not have seen combat because the MAC advisers were still working with
Vietnamese troops and not conducting separate operations. I was in an infantry unit, in Korea, north of the
38th parallel and south of the DMZ, 1961-62. I carried a rifle, and I got a Good Conduct Medal.

I value my military service highly, both for what I was able to contribute and for its contribution to me, which
was significant. I am struck by a major difference between the military of my era - Vietnam - and today.
During the 60s and 70s, there was wide spread participation in the military effort from across our society,
albeit sometimes with reservations. Today a fraction of 1% of society is involved in military service while
most of the rest of us go about our lives largely oblivious to the military's contribution. In hindsight that
contribution is demonstrably more important today than it was during Vietnam. Our apathy is unfortunate, and
I do not profess to know how to change it. The very least we can do is respect proactively the men and
women who serve in our military and never take them for granted.

13 years in the Navy including medical training. While I was a George Washington University, I was in the

ships. One year as a general medical officer on a marine amphibious battle group helicopter carrier. One
year as a General Surgeon on a Carrier (Kitty Hawk). Six months deployed as general surgeon on a surgical
trauma team. The other time was spent on the general surgery teaching staff at the Naval Hospital San
