With the passing of Lou Conter at 102, the last living voice of the USS Arizona has drifted into silence. The final witness to that harrowing morning is gone, and with his departure, the ship and her fallen crew rest in an even deeper, eternal quiet. His long journey, marked by courage, resilience, and unyielding duty, has carried him home to his shipmates at last. Now their story, their sacrifice, and their legacy live on only through us.🕊️🇺🇸⚓
