Harold’s story unfolds against the backdrop of one of the most crucial days in modern history – Dec. 7, 1941. Serving on the USS Nevada during the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, Harold played a crucial role in the defense efforts that saw his ship emerge as the sole surviving battleship out of eight. The courage displayed by Harold and his fellow sailors during those harrowing hours not only saved lives but also became a symbol of unwavering commitment to duty. As we commemorate his 101st birthday, we express our deepest gratitude to Harold, a living testament to resilience and bravery.
