From the December 15, 2013, Tampa Bay Tribune "Pearl Harbor survivors speak."
Just to see and hear one of these aging warriors is something else, but to have three at once? Wow.
On Dec. 7th, Zephyrhills Museum of Military History had three of them:
GEORGE CASS on the USS San Francisco
WERNER KLEMM on the USS Dobbin
CHARLES McCLELLAND on the USS Helena.
Sadly, the previous year, nine Pearl Harbor survivors were in attendance, but the other six could not attend for health reasons.
Sorry to See Them Go. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
