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.

Pearl Harbor

A couple stories from the last Pearl Harbor Day in 2011, the 70th anniversary.

From the Dec. 7, 2011, Huffington Post "Pearl Harbor Day 2011: How Radio Stations Broke the News" audio.

The H.P. posted five different stations audio (of course).  There were lots of photos and film of the events.  Very worthwhile watching and listening if they still have it.

Fron the Dec. 7, 2011, San Antonio (Tx) Express-News.

The Alamo Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association met for the last time.  The group once numbered 200, but now down to 35, with just 17 actual survivors.
