Both CDA papers deserve a Sweet Potato for offering nice articles about Pearl Harbor survivors. Kevin Graman and Carl Gidlund old the stories of these old warriors for the S-R here and here. And Bill Buley of the CDA Press focuses on a 12/7 survivor from Hayden here. We honor the "Greatest Generation" by recalling their day.
