More than 2,000 people attend a ceremony to remember those killed when Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. 'As a Pearl Harbor survivor, I’m one of the last chosen few I guess,” said Herb Elfring, 97, the only member of his regiment still living.
Rear Adm. Robert Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii, said the military community has received an outpouring of love and support from Hawaii after the shooting at “our beloved shipyard” earlier this week.
The 1941 aerial assault killed more than 2,300 U.S. troops. Nearly half — or 1,177 — were Marines and sailors serving on the USS Arizona, a battleship moored in the harbor. The vessel sank within nine minutes of being hit, taking most of its crew down with it. Conter said his doctor has vowed to keep him well until he’s 100 so he can return for the 80th anniversary.
