Near the No. 3 gun turret, Lou Conter QM3c waits for colors to start aboard USS Arizona as an attacking Japanese aircraft flew by. Conter survived the attack and today he is 102 years old and is the last crewman of the USS Arizona still living.

19 year old Marine Reserve Field Musician Don Hamel from Chicago, was a member of the Marine detachment aboard USS Arizona. As the bugler on duty, he sounded the call to arms when the attack began. Hamel's remains were considered nonrecoverable.

The USS Arizona held approximately 1.5 million gallons (5.7 million liters) of "Bunker-C" oil. The oil rising from the hull to the surface to this day is referred to as "black tears".

Pearl Harbor survivor Ira Schab returned to Pearl Harbor 82 years after Japan's bombing. He was one of just six survivors at the remembrance ceremony for the more than 2,300 servicemen killed on Dec. 7, 1941:

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs doesn't keep statistics for how many Pearl Harbor survivors are still living. But department data show that of the 16 million who served in World War II, only about 120,000 were alive as of October and an estimated 131 die each day.

Schab never spoke much about Pearl Harbor until about a decade ago. He's since been sharing his story with his family, student groups and history buffs. And he's returned to Pearl Harbor several times since.

The reason? "To pay honor to the guys that didn't make it," he said

Harry Chandler, 102, recalled raising the flag at a mobile hospital in Aiea Heights in the hills above Pearl Harbor in 1941. He was a was a Navy hospital corpsman 3rd Class at the time.

"I look out there and I can still see what's going on. I can still see what was happening," said Chandler, who today lives in Tequesta, Florida.

Marine Corps. Capt. Daniel Hower, the 29-year-old grand-nephew of Conter, the last remaining USS Arizona survivor, delivered the keynote address,

One of the first North Carolinians to die in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor was @NCState alum and #Raleigh native Robert Westbrook. He is buried in Hawaii. May his sacrifice forever be remembered.

Army radio operator Robert Westbrook ran straight into enemy fire in the opening minutes of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The NC State alumnus lost his life at the airbase on Hickam Field 80 years ago in a courageous bid to protect U.S. bombers on the ground.

This Boeing 314 was 6 days from its home port of San Francisco when Pearl Harbor was attacked this week in 1941. It was forced to find a westward way home, resulting in the first around-the-world flight by a commercial airliner. Read the story now:

USS CASSIN (DD-372) leaning against USS DOWNES (DD-375). Both were Mahan class destroyers. They took the brunt of the 2nd wave dive bombing attack intended to hit USS USS PENNSYLVANIA (BB-38) behind.

The sunken USS Arizona. The upper sections including both towers and Arizona's 16 inch guns were eventually removed. Today, very little is left above water. Notice the US Flag flying from the aft tower and today's view of the Memorial from the same perspective.

27 Jan 1941: U.S. #ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew wires #Washington that Japan is planning a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor; he is not believed. Most senior U.S. #military officials believe Japan will attack the #Philippines in the event of war.
