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.

80 Years On, the Told and Untold Stories of Pearl Harbor-- Part 1

The December 4, 2021, Sun Sentinel  by George W. Rhodes.

"It's 80 years on and they're almost gone."

According to a National Park Service news release earlier this month,  150  veterans of World War II, including 40 who were there at Pearl Harbor that day in 1941, will be attending the annual day of remembrance in Pearl Harbor tomorrow.

If not 100 years old, Pearl Harbor survivors are near it.  Those who were 20 years old back then are now 100.  Some were younger, some older.

Those 40 sure have some stories to tell about that day and some have told them.
