From the Feb. 14, 2013, L.A. Times "Sen. Frank Lautenberg, last of World War II vets, to retire" by Lisa Mascaro.
U.S. senator Frank Lautenberg, 89, (D-NJ) has announced he will retire at the end of his term. he is the son of an immigrant who enlisted in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and served in Europe.
This leaves only House of Representatives World War II veterans John Dingell (D-Mich) and Ralph M. Hall (R-Texas) in the Congress.

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.
