From the December 8, 2011, Florida Today.
FLORENCE NEENER was there as a civilian working for the military in Hawaii.
JIM MITCHELL, 89, of West Melbourne in the Army's 251st Coast Artillery at the base hospital with tonsillitis. He was sitting outside with other patients when the attack began, "We were out sunning ourselves." They grabbed weapons and began firing.
December 8, 2011, New York Post.
DAN FRUTCHER, 92 "I had just completed breakfast and was waiting to be picked up by friends for a luau."
ROBERT EAKIN, 92, of Bayonne, NJ, there as well.

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.
