"Last Survivor of USS Arizona's Pearl Harbor Attack Dies at 102"

Lou Conter, the last survivor of the USS Arizona from the Pearl Harbor attack, passed away at the age of 102 due to congestive heart failure. He survived the explosion of the ship's magazine during the attack and went on to serve in the Navy as a naval aviator and later established the Navy's first Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training program. Conter, who considered the fallen servicemen as the real heroes, was the last living survivor of the USS Arizona and had expressed a desire to visit the USS Arizona Memorial one last time before his passing.
