Some would say that the USS Panay was the first US ship lost in WWII.

I had not thought about it but the Panay was the first.

I would agree. The USS Panay was attacked by Japan in a unquestioned act of aggression. Sort of like what happened in 1941.

I seem to remember that folks around Madison county cursed his name, but although he was black he was never one to turn his back on a poor white kid.

Wait that was a different Reuben James.

Never mind.
