From 2012.
Charles William Ray, one of the 12 surviving crew members of the HMAS Perth said: "We always come on the first of March every year for a service of remembrance to the ship, mainly to our shipmates.
"And all I hope is that if God's willing, that I'll live as long as I can to attend the yearly service. That's my aim in life."

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.
