Something special for Memorial Day

Post by Grizzly Adams »

One of the first vessels attacked and sunk by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor was the USS UTAH.
Thirty officers and 431 men were reported to have survived the loss of the ship. Six officers and 52 enlisted men were lost, some trapped aboard ship, others cut down by strafing aircraft.

Among those interred in the Utah is this little girl: http://www.ussutah.org/wagner.htm

Least we forget all those who perished.
