dimreaper 692 Posted November 12 The History Channel put out this video back in 2016 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. It features well over a dozen veterans who took part in the Attack. As of 2024, it appears only Bob Fernandez (4 minute mark) is still alive. Apologies in advance if he's already been mentioned on this thread. https://www.recordnet.com/picture-gallery/lifestyle/2024/07/15/pearl-harbor-vet-turns-100/74388813007/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
