Some More On James Sisson of Roanoke, Virginia

I did find in MyLife site the name James Sisson in Roanoke, Virginia, who is/was age 92 and born June 18, 1925.  Perhaps this is he.

I also found another entry in the Find-A-Grave site for a Willis James Sisson who served in the U.S. Navy from 1934-1964 and is listed as being a World War II, Korean War and Pearl Harbor survivor.  But he was born and died in Washington state, so likely is not the James Sisson I'm looking for.

This man was born 19 March 1913 in Tacoma, Washington and died 20 November 2006 in Washington state.  He is buried at Mount Angeles Memorial Park in Washington.

Home On Furlough From Pearl Harbor After the Attack

From the March 6, 2017, Roanoke (Va.) Times  "Looking Back."

1942, 75 Years Ago.

"Although the ship which he was aboard was the first United States vessel attacked by Japanese bombs on the morning of December 7 at Pearl Harbor, James Sisson, ... now home on furlough, said yesterday no one in the ship was injured."

Unfortunately, they didn't mention what ship he was on.  I didn't find out any other information on him either.
