Check the official source for current information.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A century-long journey shaped by service, resilience and an enduring love of the sea<\/h2>\n<p>At 101, Navy WWII Veteran Levern Owens still finds his mind wandering back to the vast expanse of the ocean, the islands of the South Pacific, and the time he spent feeding both fellow sailors and his local community.<\/p>\n<p>While a recent hospital stay has left his voice a little weak, his memory remains sharp as he recalls naval warships, enemy submarines, and a life that has beautifully cascaded across the twentieth century and into present day.<\/p>\n<p>Born in June 1924, in the small farming community of Latta, South Carolina, Owens grew up in a sharecropping family during the height of the Great Depression. Survival meant work and all hands on deck for him and his extended family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up on a farm,\u201d recalled Owens. \u201cDidn\u2019t get much time to go to school because I was working on the farm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the rural, Jim Crow-era South, opportunities for young African American men were scarce. For Owens, naval service wasn\u2019t just a duty; it was a way forward and a possibility for a brighter future.<\/p>\n<p>Owens overcame the odds, managing to complete his sophomore year of high school before enlisting in the Navy while still a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>In total, Owens dedicated nearly 27 years of his life to defending the country across multiple branches:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navy: Active duty from September 1943 to May 1946<\/li>\n<li>Navy Reserve: Served from 1946 until 1951<\/li>\n<li>North Carolina Army National Guard: Served from 1965 until 1984<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating segregation and the Pacific theater<\/h2>\n<p>When Owens trained in Virginia during <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/?s=World+War+II\">World War II<\/a>, he did so in an all-African American unit.<\/p>\n<p>The military was strictly segregated, and African American sailors were almost exclusively relegated to labor-intensive, service-related roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went in as a petty officer first class, and I was first class until I came out,\u201d Owens said, noting how rare advancement was for African American service members. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t get promoted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Owens transitioned from unloading cargo to working the galley, a pivot that would define the rest of his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started cooking. And I cooked the rest of the time I was over there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His assignments took him straight into the Pacific theater. After staging in California, he boarded a ship bound for the South Pacific, where Allied forces were locked in a brutal, island-hopping campaign against Japanese forces.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadows of war and narrow escapes<\/h2>\n<p>Life at sea was a constant game of cat-and-mouse. Owens remembers the tension of navigating waters patrolled by Axis elements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to turn around a lot because submarines started chasing us,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p>His unit moved through strategic locations near Papua New Guinea, including Manus Island and Bougainville. Owens and his fellow sailors would arrive just after the heavy fighting ended to establish friendly force positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we went out and came in off the ship, the Marines went in first,\u201d he explained. \u201cAfter they went, we had to go in and secure it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cleanup operations were hazardous and grim.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese soldiers frequently hid out in underground fortifications long after the main battle was over. \u201cThey were in those bunkers,\u201d Owens said. \u201cWe just filled the opening up so they couldn\u2019t come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two moments from the war remain burned into his memory:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In August 1945, Owens witnessed history from a distance: the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. \u201cWe saw it go. You couldn\u2019t hear the sound, but you could see the cloud that came from it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On another occasion, Owens narrowly cheated death. Shortly after his crew finished unloading an ammunition ship and set foot ashore, the vessel suddenly exploded. \u201cAs we got on the island, the ship blew.\u201d Because he had already disembarked, Owens walked away unharmed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yet, it wasn\u2019t all peril. Owens recalls the camaraderie that kept he and his fellow sailors sane, often found in the downtime playing baseball and basketball to catch a fleeting glimpse of home life.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">75 years of curating flavor<\/h2>\n<p>When the war ended, Owens took his culinary skills to the civilian world, building a legendary 75-year career in hospitality. He spent years in Atlantic City, New Jersey, working as a waiter and chef for summer tourists and cooking for schools in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, he settled in Lexington, North Carolina, becoming a fixture at local country clubs, churches, weddings and diners. For Owens, cooking wasn\u2019t just a job; it was his identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything that came along, if I could do it, I did [laughs],\u201d Owens said.<\/p>\n<p>Retirement didn\u2019t come easily to a man defined by hard work. \u201cHe retired, I think, for about six months and went back to work,\u201d his daughter Toria Owens said. \u201cHe tried like three times in total to retire before he actually sat down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Owens finally hung up his apron at the age of 91 after a long run at a local business in Lexington, where he became a beloved industry icon.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Owens is surrounded by a massive, loving family that spans five children, alongside numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>For Toria, his daughter who now helps care for him, living with a centenarian Veteran like her dad is a daily gift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he does talk to me, I get to learn about parts of history from an actual person who went through these things,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I\u2019m just reading in a book. I\u2019m proud to call him my daddy. I\u2019m proud that he did what he did back then so that most of us are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though health issues have slowed him down, Owens still loves the simple pleasures: sitting outside looking at flowers, taking car rides, and watching classic Westerns. And his daughter notes that his legendary wit hasn\u2019t faded one bit.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Owens and family celebrated his birthday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t act like he\u2019s 102,\u201d Toria said, smiling. \u201cHis body may slow down some, but his mind still goes. Give him another couple of days, and he\u2019ll be back talking smack with us and trying to tell us how to cook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/salisbury-health-care\/stories\/service-that-sparked-a-lifelong-passion-us-levern-owens-us-navy-wwii-veteran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Salisbury VA Health Care System site<\/a> and has been edited for style and clarity.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"tni-attribution\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/147790\/service-sparked-lifelong-passion-wwii-veteran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.
