Pearl Harbor Survivors Reunion

The Dec. 3rd Fredericksburg (Tx) Standard reports that more than 100 Pearl Harbor Survivors will gather in Fredericksburg Dec. 4-7th for their 67th national convention. (Actually, I thought they didn't form until the 1960s.)

Sunday, the anniversary of the Day of Infamy, a special program will be held at the National Museum of the Pacific War, beginning with a missing-man flyover by jets while local churches ring their bells. It will conclude with a flyover of vintage WW II aircraft and a 21-gun salute.

Who knows how many other reunions there will be as these men (and women) are getting very old?

A Salute to You. --Cooter
