Pearl Harbor Day

Posted by GruntDoc on December 7th, 2009

The “First” Medal of Honor Winner from Pearl Harbor is still with us at the age of 100: LT. John William Finn (via the Weekly Standard). Looks like he was a Chief when Nimitz gave him the award.

Thanks to our Pearl Harbor vets.

    I’ve been in the Army Reserve, but never in combat.

    The Weekly Standard link says he was hit more than 20 times by Japanese fighter machine gun strafing fire. I don’t understand how anyone could survive that, unless it included small shrapnel fragments and richochets.

    Any explanation for this here greenie?
