USS Arizona survivor Donald Stratton recounts his harrowing experience during the attack on December 7, 1941. Stratton served on the port-side anti-aircraft gun director on the foremast platform, just above the bridge.

Remarkably, after a long and painful recovery, Donald Stratton re-enlisted in the U.S. Navy, determined to return to duty and serve through the remainder of World War II. #usnavy #pearlharb
