John, thanks for posting, and thank him for his service.
One of my neighbors when I was growing up turns 100 in a couple weeks. He was out at sea in the vicinity of Iceland when Pearl Harbor was attacked; the way he found out is they were ordered to make flank speed from Iceland to the Pacific side of the Panama Canal in case the Japanese attacked there next.
