From the December 7, 2010 Coast Guard Compass Blog "Pearl Harbor survivor continues his service."
George C. Larson, 93, is the president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association San Francisco Bay Area Chapter 2. He was the one who wrote about the Ni'ihau Incident in the previous post.
On December 7, 1941, he was a radioman at the Coast Guard Radio Station Honolulu in the Diamond Head Lighthouse. He had learned the "Orange Code" which was the top-secret deciphering of the Japanese military code.
Mr. Larson awoke to rattling and shaking and at first thought there was an earthquake. he went to the station's back door and saw planes flying overhead.

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.
