161202-N-WC566-023 PEARL HARBOR (Dec. 2, 2016) Sideboys render honor to Pearl Harbor survivor Lou Conter during a wreath laying ceremony to honor the fallen men of the Pennsylvania-class battleship USS Arizona, at the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl in Honolulu. Conter was a 20-year-old quartermaster 3rd class when he escaped the burning wreckage of USS Arizona. Dec. 7, 2016, marks the 75th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Oahu. The U.S. military and the State of Hawaii are hosting a series of remembrance events throughout the week to honor the courage and sacrifices of those who served during Dec. 7, 1941, and throughout the Pacific Theater. As a Pacific nation, the U.S. is committed to continue its responsibility of protecting the Pacific sea-lanes, advancing international ideals and relationships, well as delivering security, influence and responsiveness in the region.
