PEARL HARBOR Four of the remaining nine USS Arizona survivors of the Pearl
Harbor attack are vowing this year's anniversary won't be their last reunion.
The men in their 90s gathered for a news conference Tuesday in a building overlooking the memorial that sits on top of the Arizona, a battleship that sank in the Dec. 7, 1941 attack. Even though
it's the last official survivor gathering of the USS Arizona Reunion Association, the men said they still plan to get together, even if not in Hawaii.
"I don't think this is going to be our last. We've still got time to go," said Louis Conter, 93, of Grass Valley, California. "We'll be back out here no matter whether the rest of the crowd can make it or not."

I'm taking my Scout Troop on an overnighter on the USS Lexington on the weekend of Dec 6/7 and there are supposed to be four Pearl Harbor survivors attending a remembrance ceremony on Sunday.

I happen to sit next to one of them on the plane over. He was excited to meet some Soldiers... But obviously we were the ones honored. Dude was in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam!

I did the same thing with our Cub Scout den as a last hurrah before crossing over into Boy Scouts. Great overnighter. The only complaint was the cold showers. Remember Pearl Harbor !!
