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.

Eight Pearl Harbor Survivors Honored at Sunday's 100 Running of the Indy 500

From the May 29, 2016, 13 WTHR NBC "Eight Pearl Harbor survivors, World War II veterans honored at Indy 500."

Eight Pearl Harbor Survivors were honored at 11:45 a.m. in a ceremony commemorating the upcoming 75th anniversary of the attack that plunged the United States into World War II.

The trip to the race was organized by the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors.

I was at the race Sunday and this was shown on the giant TVs around the track and was quite impressive, especially after the flyovers by two World War II aircraft.  There was also a video of the attack with them giving their memories.
