What a terrible headline.

Thank you for your service Mr Egnatovich, & RIP.

What an experience. I think I would've rather have been barbecued on the USS Arizona than slowly expire trapped in the hull of an upturned 32,000 ton battleship.

I wonder what he did between December 1941 and September 1945. Pearl Harbor was only the beginning for those heroes.

It won't be long before we're reading about the "last survivor of ..." The Battle of the Bulge, D-Day, Anzio, Leyte Gulf, Tarawa, Iwo ...

Time marches on and the heroes fade into memories. And the nation they saved deserves them less and less each day.

I am going to pick a nit because this was written by a journalist:

______________
....of the U.S.S. Oklahoma which sunk in Pearl Harbor...
______________

It should either be: ...of the USS Oklahoma which sank in Pear Harbor...

Or, ...of the USS Oklahoma which was sunk during the attack at Pearl Harbor.

The writer is confusing all sorts of things that make it sound like it was written in English. But it is not English.

Current English “education” puts more meaning on what the writer meant, than what the writer means.

Yes, I am picking nits. But this nit goes along with the “me” attitude that always puts “me” first in a list of pronouns. For example, they write and say, “me and my brothers went to the store.”

These phrases sound like scratches on a chalkboard to me.

Its 2016 the year and decade off shit reporters,writers,journalist and pundits.
Lousy students allowed to pass are now coming home to roost.
EEOC dumshit quotas of the news industry which bye the way it is no longer.
Its more like current events,”show and tell” biased BS!!

That industry is in the crapper since the emergence of the WWW.

Lousy spell’en,. gra’mer and Sin’tax are all in the crapper with it.
