It was a calm Sunday morning when it happened in Pearl Harbor. Chief Petty Officer John Finn was wondering why gun firing was going on outside. The Japanese were upon them! John grabbed some ammo and a .30 caliber and went to take down some Zeros (Japanese high speed planes). He got injured pretty seriously, but he didn’t give up! After the attack, John went to where he parked his car. There it was without a scratch. John smiled for the first time that day. When he got home, his wife shrieked. 2 times really. Once for the fact that John was alive, then again out of horror. She counted 21 wounds on him. He needed a doctor but went later in the day because of the pain. John was awarded the Medal of Honor for his valiant efforts to stop the Japanese from destroying the small base that was on Pearl Harbor.
