Jay's Last Letter Home

November 8, 1941 | Pearl Harbor, HI

Jay sent home a letter talking about how the USS Arizona was supposed to go to San Francisco for maintenance.  However, their orders were changed to stay in Pearl Harbor.  Little did he know that one month later he would be killed in the Pearl Harbor bombing.
