From the May 25, 2016, Stars and Stripes "Groups move to protect historic moorings at Pearl Harbor" by Audrey McAvoy.
The National Park Service and Pacific Historic Parks on Wednesday launched an effort to win grant money to preserve the historic quays at Pearl Harbor. These were where the battleships on Battleship Row were moored December 7, 1941,
They are competing with twenty other National Park Historic Sites across the country for grants from Partners in Preservation campaign funded by American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation/. Winners will be chosen according to voting online at www.VoteYour Park.org on July 5.

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.
