Served at Wheeler Field, Oahu, Hawaii. Decorated for bravery under fire on December 7, 1941. At the beginning of the attack, he ran down to cut off the primary cables, so if a direct bomb hit, the base would not be without electricity. He worked continuously until the attack was over and then for 15 days straight to help restore the base.
