From the Nov. 11, 2010, Anniston (Al) Starr "Pearl Harbor survivors reflect on service, lead Veterans Day parade" by Cameron Steele.
On Dec. 7, 1941, GLENN McNEILL, 24, was asleep at Schofield Barracks. GEORGE MURRAY, 22, was also at Schofield Barracks and heading for work at the chemical weapons depot.
PAUL JOYCE was shining his shoes aboard the USS Utah and planning on going to Honolulu to celebrate his promotion to second-class petty officer with a girlfriend.
WILLIAM NESTOR, 19, was on his way to Honolulu from Fort Barrette where he was an artillery officer.
These men were honorary grand marshals for the Veterans Day parade.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
