<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOC sends us a link from Fox News<\/a> about 98-year-old Ernest Thompson, a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. On that dark day in our history, Thompson was among the crew of the battleship USS Tennessee (BB-43) which was damaged during the attack but rebuilt and modernized and took part in the War in the Pacific. Thompson made it a habit to visit USS Iowa which is a museum near his home in Southern California to revisit his youth.<\/p>\n Health issues have interfered in his almost daily visits to the museum, so this happened according to KTLA<\/a>;<\/p>\n With the help of volunteer coordinators, the chief selects from the Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center visited Thompson’s home and sang the Navy’s march song, “Anchors Aweigh” in the middle of his residential street.<\/p>\n While the singing went on, Thompson stood and saluted, “inspiring those around him,” the release stated.<\/p>\n The remarkable thing, according to a spokesman for the museum, is that Thompson had a fall earlier this year and had not been able to walk or stand since then.<\/p>\n After the singing concluded, the chief selects walked one-by-one up to Thompson on the veteran’s porch to shake his hand.<\/p>\n “My grandfather told me that it was one of the best days of his life,” Williams wrote on Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here’s the video;<\/p>\n
