Herb, Do you have any resource material available that identifies those 600 Portuguese/Azoreans that were commissioned to serve? Or, those who may have become casualties? The reason I ask is that there is an individual whose name appears as a casualty of the December 7th attack that I cannot get any information on. I've tried the Pearl Harbor website, and newspaper obits to no avail.
