Great, glad you enjoyed reading it and thanks Joe.
If you want your Cub Scout troop to read about real heroes, don't miss the stories of some of the survivors
USS Arizona Reports by Survivors of Pearl Harbor Attack, especially Lt. Cdr. Fuqua of the USS Arizona.
Lt. Commander Fuqua was knocked unconscious by an initial bomb blast, then when he came to, fought fires, loaded 70 wounded men into boats, opened up the Captain's hatch and had the respective cabins of Captain Franklin Van Valkenburgh and Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd searched.
The cabins had waist deep water in them. It was determined that the Captain and Rear Admiral had made their way to the bridge.
Lt. Commander Fuqua, as the Senior surviving officer stayed on board until his last surviving man had left safely.
His calm demeanor probably saved as many lives as his heroic actions.
