From the October 23, 2015, Belleville (Illinois) News-Democrat "Pearl GHarbor survivor from Swansea dies at 93."
Chester Jankowski was on the USS Oklahoma during the attack and regularly attended veteran events and spoke at schools of his experiences. He stressed it is important for people to know about Pearl Harbor and the importance of being ready so it doesn't happen again.
After Pearl Harbor, he served on ships off North Africa, Guam and Okinawa.

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.
