From the March 29th ARC Forums.
Sadly, two more survivors of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on the battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, have died in the month of March.
Henry Mesa Cruz died March 12th.
Donald Eugene Gordon died March 26th.
In December 2011, two more died:
Lamar Crawford
Glenn Lane
At the 70th anniversary of the attack this past Dec. 7, 2011, there were 18 survivors living. That number is now just 14.
Sad. Sad. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
