Edward Wentzlaff entered the U.S. Navy on December 8, 1937 and he was aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941 during the Pearl Harbor attack. He was one of just 335 aboard the ship to survive and was spared because he ran to his battle station instead of fleeing below. Aside from singed eyebrows and hair from the fires that raged on board, he wasn't injured.
