We are down to the last few of these guys who went through WWII. It's must feel the same as back in their youth when the last of the civil war veterans were passing away.

Each year less and less of them marching (or being driven) in parades, until they are all gone.

If you haven't been to Pearl Harbor you really must try and go... I know there are group trips for veterans out there that will plan your whole stay for a bargain price...

I was there in December 1991, the 50th anniversary of attack. Went to the Arizona memorial and other events as well. Very much worth the trip.
