My dad was a WWII vet. He enlisted in the Marines 2 days after he graduated high school, and served in the South Pacific as a tail gunner. Sometime during each December 7th, he'd say "Remember Pearl Harbor."

Pearl Harbor survivors are meeting today, as they have every 5 years since the day. Their numbers are dwindling--many are in their 80s and 90s--and they think this may be their last reunion.

Like the man in the article said, it's the passing of a generation.
