S2c Charles Edward Brittan

 Where his remains are now is uncertain but the soul of this seventeen year old departed that day, December 7, 1941, from the starboard side on the quarterdeck of the burning and sinking battleship, U.S.S. Arizona BB-39. His name is engraved in stone, along with the 1176 of his shipmates, on the wall of the USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL that spans the sunken hull, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

His service to his country and ultimate sacrifice earned him the right, at the tender age of seventeen, to be called a man.
