A young sailor from Port Angeles who died more than 82 years ago in the early hours of the attack on Pearl Harbor is making history.
Marshall Dompier of Port Angeles was one of the earliest American Cub Scouts, and likely the first former Cub Scout to die in World War II. For some reason, he's buried at Oahu Cemetery, not at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Rob Ketcherside says another one of the early members of Pack 4686 in Port Angeles in the 1920s was a local kid named Marshall Dompier. Ketcherside says Dompier joined the U.S. Navy in the late 1930s and eventually found himself stationed in Hawaii aboard the battleship USS California. It’s almost as if Ketcherside views his blog posts like messages in a bottle. He tosses them into the sea of the internet and hopes they’ll wash up on some metaphoric beach somewhere, where someone will pop the cork and some kind of connection will be created.Dave Morris lives in Ewa Beach, Hawaii just west of Honolulu. Like Dompier, Morris grew up in Port Angeles and he was a Cub Scout there, too. Nowadays, the 42-year-old is a Cubmaster in Ewa Beach for his own young son.
“If it was a different time in history, it could have been me,” Morris said. “And so to see all these connections, it makes me feel bad that this guy is standing alone and that we’re going past and every year when the Scouts go to Punchbowl.
