My Father, Thomas Tippin, and his cousin, Sam Haden, both were at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. My Dad was with the U.S. Navy Mobile Hospital #2 and Sam was stationed aboard the Arizona. Unfortunately, Sam did not make it off the ship and is entombed on the Arizona. My Dad would not talk about the attack and even when I visited the Arizona Memorial in 1977, he did not tell me about his cousin. I discovered the information years later when doing genealogy. Thank you for posting.
Your welcome. As you know, a very emotional and spiritual place. Glad I finally saw it. Thanks for your comment. Glad you shared your family with me. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for posting this, Bob, particularly on Pearl Harbor Day, 76 years later…
