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.

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.

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.
