He was a major on Dec 7, 1941 and you claim there was no Marine higher rank than that in the whole Pacific at the time? I find that hard to believe. Maybe at Pearl Harbor, but certainly not the whole Pacific.Rlevse 15:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Now it says he was the senior Marine onboard the Arizona, that makes much more sense. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:37, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
