From the Jan. 5, 2016, Guns.com.
Mr. Vezey died on January 2. He was instrumental in getting the USS Oklahoma Memorial established on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor.
Ed Vezey went to Pearl Harbor every year and was born in College Station, Texas.

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.
