Roberts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since 2015, students taking military history courses have worked to preserve the history of one such veteran, the late Capt. Richard S. Roberts, through oral history interviews. Roberts served in the U.S. Navy for 24 years, earning a reputation as a legendary pilot and leader in peace and war. Previously stationed at Pearl Harbor, he was on duty in Cavite, Philippines, during the attack and flew patrol missions in its immediate aftermath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was all-day flying,\u201d Roberts said in one of his oral history interviews. \u201cWe took off before daylight and landed after dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Kirk, a senior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/history-ba\/\">history<\/a> student, completed a total of six oral history interviews with Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my second interview, he told me \u2014 a 22-year-old college student \u2014 that the interview was like talking with his old Navy buddies,\u201d Kirk says. \u201cWhile this perhaps shows the power of preparation, what it really revealed was how distinctly important it is for us to speak with veterans and how a willingness to communicate with others can create a wealth of information and add scope to our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts died peacefully on Aug. 13, 2021 at the age of 107. But thanks to the hard work of history students and the VHP, his legacy will live on through digital preservation, which launched in October of this year. Using the information gained from these oral history interviews, <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/588fdedb8eb2438a95adc6888284a6d9\">a digital exhibit<\/a> was created to further preserve Roberts\u2019 memories of service. Diana Dizon, a history student and research assistant for the VHP, was instrumental in creating this digital StoryMap documenting his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a pleasure bringing his story to life,\u201d Dizon says. \u201cI hope that everyone will have the chance to know Roberts through our interactive story map, which tells of his accomplishments and grand career with the United States Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_124792\" style=\"max-width: 147px;\" class=\"figure float-left\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"figure-img  img-fluid w-100 wp-image-124792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-209x300.jpg\" alt srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-556x800.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-356x512.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-278x400.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-250x360.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"figure-img  img-fluid w-100 wp-image-124792 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20209%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20209%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-556x800.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-356x512.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-278x400.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-250x360.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1.jpg 800w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2021\/12\/Robbie-at-Age-23-in-Florida-1-209x300.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">Roberts at 23 in Florida.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During his time in the military, Roberts earned nine campaign ribbons and the bronze star with \u201cV\u201d for valor in combat.
