Hey, all you Navy vets - notice Finn entered as enlisted in 1936-37 when he was 17 years old, and by December 7, 1941, he was a Chief!

That is making rate real fast!

Wouldn’t that be 1926? Born in ‘09, + 17?

RIP, Lt. Finn.

Check your math.

He would have been in since around 1927. He was in the service for 14 years by the time of the attack.

And as he so rightly said, By God he did his duty!
