The Dec. 9th Newport (OR) News Times reports that three Lincoln County residents are Pearl Harbor Survivors: Don Overly and George Browning, both of Toledo and Ed Johann of Lincoln City.
Don Overly was the only one able to attend the 68th anniversary commemoration on Monday. He was 21 and on the USS Case on that day.

The December 8th Roanoke Rapids (NC) Daily Herald had an article about that town's Pearl Harbor Commemoration.
Jesse Harvell of Weldon had died Dec. 10, 2008, and was greatly missed. Two other Pearl Harbor Survivors are Dallas Jones and Bill Thorpe.
The paper ran a list of North Carolinians who died aboard the USS Arizona.
