Oldest Pearl Harbor Veteran Ray Chavez Dies At Age 106

November 22, 2018, NBC News "Oldest U.S.  military survivor of Pearl Harbor  dies at age 106."

Ray Chavez had been battling pneumonia and died in his sleep in the San Diego suburb of Poway.  As recently as last May he traveled to Washington, D.C.,  on memorial Day where he was honored by President Trump.

Hours before the attack he was aboard the minesweeper USS Condor as it patrolled the harbor's east entrance when he and others saw a Japanese periscope  They notified a nearby destroyer that sank it before the Japanese planes arrived.

This is why we have to honor them now.  It is only a matter of time before they are no longer with us.
