Honoring Pearl Harbor's Fallen: Centenarian Survivors Return 82 Years Later

TL;DR Summary
Centenarian survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack returned to Pearl Harbor on the 82nd anniversary of the assault to honor the more than 2,300 servicemen killed. The aging pool of survivors has been rapidly shrinking, with only one crew member of the USS Arizona still living. The ceremony included a moment of silence, a flyover by F-22 jets, and a salute by U.S. Marines. The survivors, now in their 100s, shared their stories and emphasized the importance of remembering the sacrifices made during World War II.
