ChipNASA sends us the sad news that the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association is disbanding. Founded in 1958 and recognized by the United States Congress in 1985, it was an organization of World War II veterans whose members were on Pearl Harbor, or three miles or less offshore, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. <\/p>\n
From the article: <\/p>\n
The San Diego chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, one of the largest in the nation, held its final meeting on Saturday with only seven service members in attendance, according to a report.<\/p>\n
At its peak, the San Diego chapter boasted 586 members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly the end of an era, and it leaves me a little heartbroken,\u201d Chapter President Stuart Hedley, 97, told The San Diego Union-Tribune. <\/p>\n
The chapter\u2019s vice president, Jacks Evans, died earlier this year at the age of 95. To continue, the chapter needed at least two survivors to serve on the board. But with no one willing or able to take the helm, the organization decided to yield to the reality of time’s passage.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
