This last year's annual Las Vegas, Nevada, Veterans Day Parade was the last one that the handful of survivors of Chapter 2 Silver State Pearl Harbor Survivors Association will be in as an official organization.
Clifton Dohrman said the group is down to just five and all have health problems.

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.
