He was in the port gun director of the ship during the attack on Pearl Harbor, when an armor-piercing bomb set off the ship's forward ammunition magazine. Stratton was one of six men in the gun director who survived the initial attack. Two of the six died in hospital the evening of December 7.
On June 8, 2018 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a dedication ceremony took place to name the bridge for the newly constructed interchange at interstate 25 and Fillmore Street in Stratton's honor. Provided by Wikipedia
