Projects: Survivors: Michael Ganitch

Michael "Mickey" Ganitch , serving aboard the USS Pennsylvania, recalled that he had the day off on December 7th. He was preparing for a day of football and was putting on his football pads and helmet to go out and play a game with friends. With no time to change back into his battle uniform, his football uniform served as the only protection he wore in defense of the Pennsylvania. During the photo shoot he showed he could still get in a football stance.
