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.

USS Arizona Survivors Down to 14

From the March 29th ARC Forums.

Sadly, two more survivors of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on the battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, have died in the month of March.

Henry Mesa Cruz died March 12th.
Donald Eugene Gordon died March 26th.

In December 2011, two more died:

Lamar Crawford
Glenn Lane

At the 70th anniversary of the attack this past Dec. 7, 2011, there were 18 survivors living. That number is now just 14.

Sad. Sad. --GreGen
