The WW2 generation is almost gone. It's amazing the think about days like 12/7/1941, and how ordinary men and women were thrown into war. Potts was operating a crane transferring supplies when the Japanese attacked, and helped to rescue other sailors from the burning waters of Pearl Harbor.

The thing that amazes me about the Arizona is anybody at all survived - and yet 335 did.
