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.

The Last Hudson County (N.J.) Pearl Harbor Survivor, Frank Wasniewski, Dies at Age 100
From the January 28, 2020, NJ.com "Hudson County's last Pearl Harbor survivor dies at age 100" by Ron Zeitlinger.
Passed away January 21, 2020. Was stationed at Schofield Barracks with the 98th Coast Artillery, 35 minutes north of Pearl Harbor. That fateful day, he had traveled to the Navy base to pick up ammunition
He was drafted March 26, 1941, and had planned to serve a year, but ended up serving 4 and a half years.
Every Hudson County Pearl Harbor observance had him until he was too ill to attend anymore. Internment at Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City, New Jersey.
