Some More on Pearl Harbor Observations from Last Month.
Four Pearl Harbor survivors attended the commemoration in Suffern,NY.
Peter Sarantapoulas was on the USS Argonne, a repair and supply ship at the time of the attack. "We ot strafed and I ran from one side of the ship to the other. I was supposed to be in the radio shack 'caus I was the radioman, but I wound up handling ammunition."
Some of the survivors were not healthy enough to attend.
Other vets in attendance: Robert Stockum of Ridgefield, NJ, Thomas Fallon of Waldwick, NJ, and Al Stillwagon on Newburgh, NY.
