 Today it's a great honor to be privileged to be able to host the 78th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor commemoration. We'll have approximately 150 guests to include four Pearl Harbor survivors with us today. Personally this is a tremendous honor to be able to take the time to remember those that perished on December 7, 1941 and to honor the four survivors who will be with us today. Being young at that time I wondered how I knew enough to do what I did to know to escape. And a lot of them didn't of course. And I think of them. My ship they lost over 400 some of them in. And that thing could have been me. I think it's a tradition that should be carried on. The United States should never forget what happened on this day. And I think the Navy should continue it. It was a good ceremony. We recognized all our troops that were lost in Pearl Harbor and also lost in the Pacific and Asian War. And I was out here today to recognize all my men that didn't make this trip. And as I can say it's God, duty, honor, and country. I think this is a great day for us to remember the past history of the United States and what happened up to Pearl Harbor Day. When we trusted everybody and let them get away with everything. We've not got to keep our guard up, not let it down.
