John Daniel Cartano (April4, 1909 – July19, 2005) was an American lawyer.

Cartano was born on April 4, 1909, in Seattle, Washington, to Daniel A. and Margaret Cartano.

1926

He graduated from West Seattle High School in 1926, where he was honored as a commencement speaker and 3-year letterman in tennis and golf.

At the age of 17, he became the Washington State's champion high school orator, and later placed third in the semifinals of the National Oratorical Contest, behind the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Carl Albert.

1930

He graduated from the University of Washington, in 1930, where he served as vice-president of the student body and was a Phi Beta Kappa.

1934

Cartano received a doctor of law degree from Harvard Law School in 1934.

He was the founder of the Seattle law firm of Cartano, Botzer & Chapman, where he worked for over 40 years.

Cartano made his mark on the Seattle community as a prominent civic leader.

1943

His active military duty started in the Pacific where he commanded the USS APc-25 in 1943.

He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for, according to the citation, "heroism displayed in the rescue of approximately thirty-five survivors from a burning transport which had been subjected to an enemy aerial attack in the Solomon Islands area on August 13, 1943."

A Radio Special, used as a promotional advertisement that was played nationally during World War II to recruit workers to build and rehabilitate vessels in the shipyards and to bolster national commitment to World War II, was transcribed as follows:

"For every American's war . . . The John Cartano Story. In this dramatic story, which you hear James tell Bethlehem Steel, builders of ships for victory, brings you a message, which we cannot afford to forget. He was always a great sports fan. He loved baseball, football and basketball, and played a darn good game of golf and tennis. His dad loved these games, too, and they played a lot together, all this was back in their hometown of Seattle Washington. By the way, we are talking about John D. Cartano of that city. John did a good job of playing the game of life, too. He graduated from both high school and college with honors. Then he became a successful practicing attorney in a Seattle law firm. Finally, he decided to get into the biggest game that's being played right now, the game of war to victory. He's now Lieutenant John D. Cartano of the United States Navy. The USS John Penn, a transport cargo ship, was just off Guadalcanal.

It was August 13, 1943, and she was bringing to a large troop fighting in the Solomon's area a much-needed cargo of ammunition.

Suddenly out of the sky screamed a formation of Jap torpedo planes.

One enemy plane put her fish right through the engine room of the John Penn.

A terrific explosion tore a great hole in the vessel and almost immediately she was a blazing popping inferno.

Nearby lying off Guadalcanal was an army patrol craft, the USS APC 25.

Her commanding officer, Navy Lieutenant John D. Cartano, saw what was happening to the helpless transport.

While the radio communications systems in the vicinity crackled with various opinions on what should be done, he had already made up his mind.

In those radio contacts, they were agreeing that it would be too dangerous for other vessels to approach the burning exploding USS Penn. It appeared obvious that there was little chance of saving anyone.

The danger of getting anywhere near that exploding inferno was great.

But Lieutenant Cartano and his small craft was already proceeding at full speed toward the quickly sinking cargo ship.

The USS Penn went down twenty minutes after the torpedo struck.

The sea around the sinking ship was aflame with burning oil.

But Lieutenant Cartano brought his small craft in as close as he dared and began the job of picking up survivors.

He realized he would have to work fast.

Some of the men in the water had on life jackets, but others, and among them were many wounded, had none.

Lieutenant Cartano got search, rescue, and first aid parties into action immediately.

He and his men worked hard, and they worked fast, and later when they counted the survivors, they found Lieutenant Cartano's little patrol craft had pulled out 33 men.

1956

He served as the campaign manager for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's presidential campaign in the State of Washington in 1956 and was active in the Republican Party politics for many years.

Cartano was a member of the Rainier Club, Washington Athletic Club, Harvard Club, College Club, Seattle Tennis Club, Breakfast Club, Speakers Club, Sigma Chi Fraternity, and Olympic Club.
