From the Feb. 21, 2012, Rapid City (SD) Journal.
Steve Warren, one of the state's five remaining Pearl Harbor survivors, has been named Rapid City, South Dakota's Veteran of the Month by the city council.
he was 20 years old and on a wooden pleasure yacht with no guns that had just pulled into Pearl Harbor two days earlier, when the attack came.
He later got off the ship and was assigned to comfort and care for the wounded and dying.
I have written about him on May 20, 2014.
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.
