A couple stories from the last Pearl Harbor Day in 2011, the 70th anniversary.
From the Dec. 7, 2011, Huffington Post "Pearl Harbor Day 2011: How Radio Stations Broke the News" audio.
The H.P. posted five different stations audio (of course). There were lots of photos and film of the events. Very worthwhile watching and listening if they still have it.
Fron the Dec. 7, 2011, San Antonio (Tx) Express-News.
The Alamo Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association met for the last time. The group once numbered 200, but now down to 35, with just 17 actual survivors.
Sad to See Them Go. --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.
