Tuesday marks the 80 ^th anniversary of the devastating surprise Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

More than 2,400 sailors and civilians died in the attack on the Hawaii naval base and another 1,000 were wounded when hundreds of fighter planes descended just before 8 a.m.

Nearly 20 naval vessels, including eight battleships, were damaged or destroyed, along with 300 airplanes.

The next day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it “a date that will live in infamy,” as he asked Congress to declare war on Japan.

While no official list exists of Pearl Harbor survivors, less than 100 are believed to be still living.

One of them is Howard Kenton “Ken” Potts, 100, one of the last two remaining survivors from the USS Arizona who went on to become a career intelligence officer and designed the Navy’s first survival, evasion, resistance and escape (SERE) training.
