P-40Warhawk Posted February 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2020 Donald G. Stratton passed away in his sleep last night, surrounded by his family. Such sad news. Donald Stratton was a survivor of the port gun direction on the USS ARIZONA. Rest in peace sir, you have earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikie Posted February 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2020 Sad to hear this. He was a true American hero. Besides his Pearl Harbor experience, is his efforts to get back in the fight as quickly as he could, wounds or no. I highly recommend his book, All The Gallant Men, one of the best sailor eye view books I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyhistorian01 Posted March 4, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 4, 2020 This is Sad news, I corresponded with Mr Stratton some years ago and he was kind enough to autograph some things for me and answer some questions about his service for me. Rest in Peace Sailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
