D-Day memories: Hampton Roads welcomes last surviving Army diver....

Jim Kennedy is the last known WWII deep sea diver. He is being honored for his service at a diver's reunion this weekend in Williamsburg. Kennedy and other past divers are at Ft. Eustis, where current Army divers will don the old WWII diving suits and do a demonstration inside their Diver Training Facility tank. (Joe Fudge, Daily Press / April 29, 2009)
