Pearl Harbor Veteran Dies

A Missouri man who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has died. 

Bill McAnany of Jefferson City passed away Wednesday at St. Mary’s Hospital. 

He served as a U-S Navy Corpsman and was stationed aboard the hospital ship U-S-S Solace. 

On the morning of December Seventh, 1941, McAnany was out sightseeing when the attack began — he rushed back to Pearl Harbor and began pulling dead and wounded servicemen out of the water while enemy planes continued attacking. 

Bill McAnany was 101 years old.
