From the Dec. 7, 2012, Florida Today by R. Norman Moody.
Fred Robinson, 90, of Rockledge was in the Army on the island.
George Herold, 88, of West Melbourne was at the submarine base and said, "They didn't hit the sub base. They hit all around us."
John Hatcher, 91, of Pembrook Pines was preparing pancakes for breakfast.
James Mitchell of West Melbourne.
Richard Jeffrey, 95, of Vicra.

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.
