A handful of centenarian survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor are expected to gather at the scene of the Japanese bombing today to commemorate those who died 81 years ago. About 24 hundred servicemen were killed in the bombing, which launched the U.S. into World War II. The USS Arizona along lost one thousand 177 sailors and Marines, nearly half the death toll. The ceremony sponsored by the Navy and the National Park Service features a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the attack began, and a missing-man-formation flyover.
