From the Jan. 15, 2016, Kitsap (Washington State) Sun by Ed Friedrich.
Maynard "Rocky" Hoffman, 97, died Jan. 15, 2016. At age 21, he was a sergeant at Ewa Marine Corps Air Station, about three miles from Pearl Harbor when the attack came.
All 49 planes based there were either destroyed or seriously damaged. Four Marines and two civilians were killed and twenty wounded.
He served in the USMC and Marine reserves for twenty years.

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.
