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.

Nevada's Last Pearl Harbor Survivor Dies: Ed Hall, 99

From the November 5, 2022, Daily Mail by Andrea Cavallier.

Ed Hall, 99, died November 2 at the North Las Vegas VA Center.  He was just 18 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

In 2020, he had said he was saddened to know that he was believed too be the last Pearl Harbor survivor in Nevada.

On that fateful day, he was an Army private and on kitchen duty cleaning a frying pan when he heard what he thought to be a malfunctioning  air compressor.  But when he walked outside  the mess hall at Hickam Field he saw a full-blown attack going on.
