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.

You know in retrospect our fathers which served in World War Two had so many stories to tell some very painful some best forgotten, but never-the-less all were America's hereos and shall remain so forever.

Thanks for that updated data concerning the 5,800 Pearl Harbor Survivors still living.
