Earlier today, I mentioned that as of the death of Walter Urmann March 25, 2012, there were still three Pearl Harbor survivors alive in this county.
Just one of the three was still alive as of December 6, 2013.
CLARENCE "BUD" BONER died Nov. 21, 2012, at age 90.
HENRY ANDERSON died Jan. 6, 2014, at age 95.
BILL SLATER was still alive at the 2013 Pearl Harbor anniversary commemoration.

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.
