Will Lehner lives right down the road from me, and I was fortunate enough to have him come out to our school last year to talk about his time on the Ward.
A finer man you'll never find.
I talked to Will a few weeks ago, and he recounted his experience going down and finding that sub. The conning tower was taken off, just as he had said.
During the 50th Anniversary Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor Will met some of his former shipmates in Pearl, and also was able to strike up friendships with a few of the Japanese pilots who participated in the attack. He is honored to be a part of such an elite group, and yet humble about his time he spent serving this great Country.
These veterans who survived Pearl Harbor are living history, and we shall never forget their service to this Country!
Thank you Will, and to all the American Servicemen, living and dead. We owe you a debt of gratitude that shall never be forgotten!

We will never forget, Northern Yankee, we will never forget.
And thank you too for your service to our country.
