Celebrated Pearl Harbor Survivor Jack Holder Lived Large for Those Who Didn't Make It | Military.com

I know there are many veterans in the Villages or who read Talk of the Villages.

Quote:

Holder grew up in Texas and told me he joined the Navy at age 17 to "get off the farm." He was still just 19 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. The young sailor survived that day by diving into a ditch between airplane hangars to avoid getting strafed by a Japanese pilot.
