The Young Marines, a national youth organization for boys and girls ages 8 to 18, regularly travel to Oahu to participate in Pearl Harbor remembrance events. Members actively engage in military history, leadership training, and veteran appreciation.
Fun Fact: An estimated 12 survivors of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack are still alive. All of the remaining veterans are centenarians, and none are able to travel to Hawaii for the annual remembrance ceremonies due to age and health. The Survivors: All known remaining survivors are over the age of 100. The oldest living survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack is 106-year-old Freeman K. Johnson
