David Martin marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor with a report on a long-unsung hero of that day: Boatswain's Mate Second Class Joseph L. George, whose actions saved the lives of six crewmen from the flaming hulk of the USS Arizona, but whose identity was unknown for decades.

In the early 80’s when I was active duty Marine, I spent many days sitting and listening to the Pearl Harbor survivors stories. Greatest generation indeed.

They say he threw a heaving line 70 feet to those sailors and dead on target on the first try. From what I hear that's pretty hard to do under normal circumstances let alone under intense fire and being shot at by enemy aircraft. He should have received the Medal of Honor.

32a34a -- No, the Bronze Star with a "V" for valor sounds about right. Maybe a Silver Star but not a Navy Cross and certainly not a MOH. Sailors and Marines have very high standards when awarding a medal. Probably why those two branches have such a low percentage of medals issued. Just showing up is not enough to win a valor medal.

@@wilhard45 Yeah, getting a medal or recommendation for valor is not the first thing these servicemen is thinking at first. Rescuing fellow servicemen/civilian or defuse dangerous life threatning situations in combat is. If anybody joining the armed forces or any rescue services (Police, Firefighter or Ambulance services) for the sole purpose of seeking valor, recommendations or medals only. In my opinion have nothing to do there.

I agree with willhard. A Medal of Honor would be something like going above and beyond, even though shot and wounded they still did their job, defied orders to save more life and render aid, just when the battle was thought to be lost the low ranking enlisted soldier took charge and devised a plan that saved the group of soldiers and won the battle. Scenarios like that are where a Medal of Honor might be do. Throwing a rope to some buddies who need help, I just am not seeing the hero, extraordinary, above and beyond in that.

Two of my relatives, uncle Kenneth Cooke (20) Hickham Field & great uncle Edward Gaudet (37), USS Tennessee, were Pearl Harbor Survivors! Ken (Pvt.) was in the base hospital that day & Ed was a Navy Chief at 7:00 a.m. Mass on Ford Island, who went on to become a Lieut. in a 30 year career! The"Tennessee" was moored alongside the "Arizona" & suffered damage from the explosion! Having been to Pearl Harbor myself & meeting survivors, I salute all of them!

Their were so many heroes that day and many will never be immortalized. I am thankful for the ones that are but it is painful to know it has been over 80 years and they will never know that that they were American heroes. They were just happy to of saved some shipmates !lives being a hero was not on their minds !! In my early days in the Navy I served with a couple Pearl Harbor survivors and that day took a tole on them for the rest of their lives!!! I have never seen a movie of Pearl Harbor that really showed the heroes that day.

what a wonderful story. Thank you for the story. and many thanks to the Braves man who saved the lives of all these other men. but would you please stop with the god comments. God was not involved in any of this action. If he was why did he allow the enemy attack in the first place? God was not the one who displayed Valor. God was not the one who did any action whatsoever that day. The credit goes to the man who acted and only the man who acted.
