Default Anniversary of Pearl Harbor

We're all aware of what happened on Dec 7, 1941 and the whirlwind it created.



However this was the first anniversay where there were no survivors or witness attending the ceremony today.

Interview with Robert Madison who left college to enlist because of Pearl Harbor joining a segregated battalion

I still find it shocking to think that when I was born, WW1 veterans were in their 60's, and now we're talking WW2 vets in their late 90's.
