USS Arizona survivor: Honor those killed at Pearl Harbor
USS Arizona sailor Lou Conter lived through the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, though his battleship exploded and sank, and is called a hero. He rejects the characterization: “The 2,403 men that died are the heroes.”

My wife and other family members went to Hawaii in August. One of the important stops was Pearl Harbor. I always get emotional when I go there. So many lives lost of people serving their country. I went to the spot that the USS Arizona was. That is when I really broke down. There were so many brothers still down there in that water.
I had walker, because my legs had gotten weak. I sat in my walker at the USS Arizona until my wife said we had to go.
I thought of the families that lost a loved one. I thought of their sorrow and pain. Their son, husband, brother, uncle, was gone. Never to even have a correct burial. It saddened me greatly.
I am very proud to say, that I am one of them. I served and came home.
