At Pearl Harbor on December 3 the Navy recalls the USS Arizona and the 1111 men who died, while 289 survived. The ship is treated as a commissioned vessel and the Navy pays daily tribute to the entombed sailors, keeping the fallen memory alive.
The Milam children win a soap box derby prize described as a horse won in a community event. Local organizers announce the trophy and celebration plans for the youngsters.
A crew of 1,102 aboard the USS Arizona performs a daily ritual as the sun rises and sets over the sunken battleship. Two sailors raise the flag atop a platform above the water each morning, then lower it each afternoon, while visitors view the memorial at Pearl Harbor. The piece also notes Benny Muray’s gift of a horse to Milam Home via the Community Chest, valued at about 300 dollars, and recalls Admiral Radford’s 1950 plaque dedication after Congress declined to designate the Arizona a national monument.
