| | Comments (0) |

After breakfast at the White House today, Art Herriford, along with representatives of each of the armed forces, will join the president of the United States in laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. Dennis McCarthy in the Daily News.

The 86-year-old national vice president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association - now down to just 16 members in the San Fernando Valley and less than 4,000 nationally - will bow his head and pay his respects to all the men he served with in World War II who never made it home to start a family, have a career, or grow old gracefully.

Art says he may not remember all their names, but he still sees their faces as clearly as if it was just yesterday.
