William John Livernois served this nation proudly in the United States Navy

Master Chief Petty Officer, William received many commendations including
the Good Conduct Award (4th), the National Defense Service Medal, the
Combat Action Ribbon, the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Meritorious Unit
Citation (Gallantry Cross) and he received the Navy Commendation Medal “V”
while aboard the USS Rowan. Master Chief Livernois also received a Letter
of Commendation from the Commanding Officer of the USS Tingey in November
1963 for his actions during a collision between 2 destroyers. From service
aboard the USS Rowan to the USS Tingey to the USS Okinawa and the USS
O’Brien and even the USS Robert E Lee Ballistic Missile Submarine, Master
Chief William Livernois epitomized the expression “Service Before Self”.
His dedication and commitment to the United States Navy is second to none.
It is our honor to stand in silent reverence as we show respect and
gratitude to this hero for his sacrifices made for this nation.
