Notes for Robert D.
"Bob" Arledge:
Marine saves couple from
possible drowning
NORFOLK, Va. (Sept. 27,
2001) -- Robert Arledge, a retired Army master
sergeant, shakes the hand of Staff Sgt. William Brown, of U.S. Marine Corps
Forces, Atlantic here, and thanks him for his assistance during a recent
boating accident. Brown came to the aid of Arledge
and his wife Dalys after their canoe overturned in a
Story and photos by Sgt. Chet Decker
NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, Va.
(Oct. 17, 2001) – Retired Army Master Sgt. Robert Arledge
was canoeing with his wife in an area lake recently when he decided he wanted a
drink of water. Marine Staff Sgt.
William Brown was enjoying the Sunday afternoon with his wife and children only
yards away. Both men had no idea their
lives would intersect in just seconds.
As Arledge
kneeled in the canoe for a drink from a thermos, his knee slipped. When his weight shifted he grabbed on to the
side of canoe, causing the boat to roll.
Although Arledge and his wife Dalys had life jackets with them, neither were wearing them at the time.
“When we came to the surface
I threw my wife a life jacket that was floating nearby,” said Arledge, who clung to one end of the canoe while his wife
was just yards away also clinging to the boat.
“Then I saw (Staff Sgt. Brown) on shore taking his shoes off and getting
ready to dive in.”
Brown had heard the
commotion of Arledge pleading with his wife to put on
the life jacket. He saw her trying to
stay afloat with her head barely above water when he dove in and swam about 50
feet to her side. But before he grabbed a
hold of the panicking woman he wanted to quickly try to calm her and keep her
from panicking further.
“I stopped before I got to
her so she could see me and see how she would react,” said Brown. “Since she already had a life vest in her
hand, I was able to pull her back by her hand.”
As Brown’s wife helped pull Dalys to shore, Brown returned to help get Arledge and the canoe to shore.
Once everyone was safe,
Brown even returned to retrieve the Arledges’s
belongings that were still floating in the lake.
“I was absolutely glad to
see him. I was concerned about my wife,”
said Arledge, who has been married to Dalys for 44 years.
“And we were so weighed down by our clothing. I could barely see her (when she was in the
water). All I could see was from the
mouth up. It could have been bad. I can not tell you how grateful I am."
After a brief rest, the Arledges hopped back in their canoe to finish their
journey, but not without thinking about Brown.
They returned later to get the name and address of his command, so they
could send a letter of thanks.
Soon after, they purchased
new top-of-the-line life jackets.
Brown, who joined the Marine
Corps in 1989, works for Marine Corps Community Services, U.S. Marine Corps
Forces,
While the Arledges now look back at the incident with a smile, they
know the potential deadliness of the situation.
“If he hadn’t gotten me out,
I’d be on the bottom of the lake,” Dalys said.
