I've done some detective work and found a photo (more than one) of Corporal Earl E. Jackson on the list. I researched and wrote about Cpl. Earl E.

All I (and my friends knew <br />about Sherman was that he was from the West side of Chicago and that he was the<br />first Jewish service member to die in WWII (which on December 7, 1941 was not even<br />a day of war!).<br />Today, 12/7/2020, I went on line in the hopes of finding out any info on Sherman.<br />What a wonderful site this is and what a great wealth of info on Sherman. Thanks!<br />As a side note, my father graduated from Von Steuben H.S. (1936) and is also interred at Westlawn Cemetery.<br />I plan to visit my dad and Sherman next time I get to Chicago.<br />Allen Jacobs, Scottsdale, AZAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862760517719078261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048001146592498987.post-69989965443561527742020-10-27T20:34:06.041-07:002020-10-27T20:34:06.041-07:00Thank you for this site.

I pass the admin building/ original base ops or airfield operations building to/ from work. It’s a beautifully restored building whereas the observer crows nest is still there. There’s also a wonderful memorial regarding those weather personnel who’d perished Dec 7, ‘1941. A copy of the obs sheet is there as well.<br /><br />The nearby roundabout, below the flagpole also has their names etched on the waist high memorial.markit8dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027423037524633960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048001146592498987.post-26771867223830291492019-12-03T10:30:25.518-08:002019-12-03T10:30:25.518-08:00"My" sailor is Sidney Pierce, whom I men..."My" sailor is Sidney Pierce, whom I mentioned in the comments.

It turns out he was one of the first Americans killed that day. Radioman Sydney Pierce, 19, and his pilot were flying back to Oahu from the USS Enterprise, out to sea on maneuvers, when they came across one of the Japanese bombers on its way to Pearl. A dogfight ensued; both planes were shot down over land with no survivors. Sydney’s body was returned to the States after the war. He’s now buried at Beth Yeshurun Cemetery in Houston. We discovered his headstone while walking through the cemetery and were able to discover the story.
