From the August 31, 2016, Canal Winchester (Ohio) Times "Survivor of attack receives his due."
Milton Mapon, 94 will be grand marshal of Canal Winchester's Labor Day parade. He joined the Navy in 1940 and was on the USS Detroit during the attack. He hopes to return to Pearl Harbor for the 75th anniversary commemoration.
During the attack, he was injured and remained in a body cast for a year.

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.
