My father-in-law was a ensign aboard the Arizona. He was off duty that Saturday night but worked three straight days on the defense and rescue. He pulled friends bodies out of the wreckage and later in the war was part of the flotilla the staged D-Day. I never even heard of anyone who was at both Pearl Harbor and D-Day. He died in 1988, I learned all of this from my mother-in-law; my father-in-law never mentioned it.
America tips its hat to your father in law. My dad left Pearl Harbor shortly before it was hit...in a flotilla headed towards the Battle of Midway. My brother in law was awarded the bronze star and purple heart. He was on the John D Ford...2 stacker..all quiet on the deck except for gunnersmate Ransom Mckean. God bless all the brave men that rallied and fought for this nation and those on the home front that supported them. America was a very patriotic nation at that time..even Hollywood made movies and went on big tours for our troops. Times have changed...(and I wasnt born yet but know these things from my parents )
