their adoring community who wish to honor Jim and his wife with a
one-day home makeover event. The San Diego County community, United We
Paint, retirees, students, and local corporate citizens who will make
it all possible.
It will be loud, fun and amazing as everyone creates the most inviting
living
environment possible for the family of one of our national treasures.
A decorated Naval officer, Jim
served more than 27 years protecting his country. On the morning of
December 7th, 1941, Jim was aboard the USS Oklahoma as explosions
roared closer and closer until multiple torpedoes hit and sank his
ship.
The USS Oklahoma ultimately capsized, trapping Jim for 32 hours.
Come hear in his own words how he managed to survive one of the most
infamous attacks in United States history.
