Cassi Creek: The
Pearl Harbor Survivors’ Association disbanded at the end of 2011. The members were becoming unable to travel to
Pearl Harbor for the annual commemoration.
While I was unable to find exact and accurate numbers, the estimated
number of survivors is about 3000.
Given the
rate at which WWII veterans are dying, I would assume that by 2021 there would
be no more Pearl Harbor survivors living.
Last year,
the local newspaper made no mention of the attack upon Pearl Harbor. This year, there was a comparison to the WTC/Pentagon
attacks of 2001. As the years roll by,
the emphasis provided by, our vantage points adjust how we view our
history.
