From the May 27, 2016, WTTV Indianapolis "Eight Pearl Harbor Survivors will be honored at Indianapolis 500" by Kylee Wierks.
All are from Indiana.
IMS (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) President J. Douglas Boles said: "Indianapolis 500 weekend has always stood as a celebration of our servicemen and women and the chance to applaud these tremendous individuals will be one of the most unforgettable moments of the 100th Running."

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.
