1. The Newport News-Times, probably of Virginia, reported that an annual ceremony was held at the Vietnam veterans Memorial Park and had had six Lincoln County Pearl Harbor Survivors in attendance: Don Overly, George Brown, Ed Johann, William Stonecker, William Yerkes, and Raymond Reddick.
2. At Citrus Heights near Sacramento California, a ceremony was held at the local VFW Hall. Bill Littlejohn, 85, who was aboard the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco, said "The days after the attack (I remember) all the caskets...stacked high."
3. At Bullhead City, Arizona, a speech was given, after which Pearl harbor Survivors Clare Hetrick and Ed Ralston put a wreath by the USS Arizona exhibit inside the Arizona Military Heritage Center. This center opened in May with exhibits of Arizona veterans from the arrival of the US Cavalry to Iraq.
