He stood there watching until I was out of sight. That was the last time I saw him.
— Courtney Retzer, widow, on his final deployment
Retzer was the son of a sailor. He was a math major at San Diego State when he left to join the Navy. It was his wish to be buried beside fellow soldiers and also overlooking the ocean of his childhood.
