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.

More Than Two Dozen WW II Vets Expected at Pearl Harbor for 78th Anniversary Commemoration
From the December 4, 2019, Honolulu Star Advertiser by William Cole.
The 78th anniversary of the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is expected to include more than two dozen World War II veterans. The theme is "Glimmers of Victory" and will also focus on the Doolittle Raid, Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway.
The National Park Service and U.S. Navy will honor National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day on Saturday at the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center at 1 Arizona Memorial Place.
The ceremony will begin at 7:50 a.m. and will commemorate the service and sacrifice of American service members and civilians who fought and died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu.
