Minnesotan George Vandersluis was early in his six years of military service in the Marine Corps on December 7, 1941. Vandersluis was aboard the USS Honolulu that was tied up at the pier in Pearl Harbor as the Japanese began their surprise hit on the Pacific Fleet. He witnessed the attack that pulled the USA into the war.
Bruce Cottington, pictured here at a 2014 Memorial Day event, joined the military during World War 2 in 1942, when he was just 16 years old. Although 18 was the legal age to enlist, Cottington’s widowed mother allowed him to enlist during his sophomore year of high school. He went on to serve with distinction in the Pacific.
