Yep. Sniff. When my Dad was still living, I tried to help him recall the names of his ships. I heard some good detailed stories, but sadly never figured out the names of any of the ships he was on.

Your father and mine both served with honour in the Pacific.As did mine, Aviation Machinest's Mate W. L. Parker, Pearl Harbor Survivor (USS Louisville).
Heard on the radio this morning that in 1991 there were still 19,000 Pearl Harbor Survivors. Today there are only 5,800. The average age of the Pearl Harbor Survivors is 86 so age is catching up with them.
