#Lou Conter

Gov. Josh Green, M.D., has ordered that flags be lowered to honor the last Pearl Harbor survivor of the USS Arizona, Lou Conter, who died on Monday, April 1, 2024, at age 102. Conter and many of his 335 shipmates who survived the attack, distinguished themselves by rescuing many of their brethren and continued to serve the Navy with dignity and honor. The Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor took the lives of 1,177 Arizona crewmembers.

The last survivors of the U.S.S. Arizona returned for a final salute with an aerial tour conducted by Blue Hawaiian Helicopters above the Arizona on Monday and a tribute to the 1,777 shipmates they lost.
