When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Kentucky native Admiral Claude C. Bloch was commandant of the 14th Naval District. Bloch's naval career spanned the Spanish-American War through World Wars I and II and included his position at Pearl Harbor, 1940-1942. A historical marker in Woodbury documents his astonishing career. This Butler County native attended Ogden College in Bowling Green and graduated from the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1899. He received the Legion of Merit Award and retired in 1945. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn more about KET's programs at http://www.ket.org/video/ Visit KET's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KET Subscribe to the KET channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ketvideos
