Pat Perry Duncan was 18 years old as he prepared to sound the bugle aboard the USS Raleigh on the morning of December 7, 1941. Moments later he found himself responding to the attack on Pearl Harbor. He survived that attack and went on to serve his country in WWII.
The Lord called Pat, at the age of 92, to his higher service the evening of July 13, 2015. He was born February 22, 1923, in Meridian, Texas to Spurgeon and Mary Emma Perry Duncan.
