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.

North Dakota Pearl Harbor Survivor Turns 100-- Part 2

Harold Bruschwein served in the South Pacific afterwards and won a Silver Star.  he said he met some big names along the way.

Before the war started, he was Col. Eisenhower's aide for six weeks before he was sent to Hawaii.  he also had drinks with John Kennedy at one point.

He fought at Guadalcanal where he earned his Silver Star for his efforts to organize the rescue a number of soldiers under his command.
