We're Four Days from the 79th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor: Death of Lambert Turner, 92, Served on USS Pennsylvania After the Attack

Since we are now just four days from the 79th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor which plunged the United States into World War II, I will begin devoting this blog to recent events which have a Pearl Harbor connection.

Although, it is very clear that the United States had been preparing for entry into World War II for several years prior to it.

LAMBERT (LARRY) TURNER, 92

Died November 21, 2010.

Born and raised in Minnesota.  Joined the U.S. Navy  during his senior year and was posted to the USS Pennsylvania, which was damaged at Pearl Harbor during the attack and preparing for the invasion of Japan when the atomic bombs were dropped.

Sadly, all too often any news involving Pearl Harbor in WW II these days involves one of the survivors dying.
