My friend Lou Conter was on the deck of the USS Arizona when the Japanese attacked on December 7. Today he’s one of two remaining survivors of the Arizona. I’m please to report he’s still well at 101. I visited him a few weeks ago, and will see this great man again this weekend.
Since 2017 I’ve posted here each year my son’s 2017 Eagle Scout Project video biography of Mr Conter. In honor of him and all those who fell, and those who lived to fight on to victory, I present it again now. https://youtu.be/T_L0kWTqPiA
And here we are, approaching another anniversary. It doesn’t seem as though our current generation/s have been paying attention to the lessons the previous ones taught us by their hard lessons. Those hard lessons will be re-learned, again, yup, the hard way...
