Bob Fernandez, a 100-year-old survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack, passed away peacefully at home, reflecting on the devastating impact of war on lives.
Fernandez's experiences on December 7, 1941, included seeing Japanese planes and enduring a harrowing awakening to the realities of war, ultimately leading to the US entering WWII.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor claimed over 2,300 lives, with many servicemen, including those on the USS Arizona, making the ultimate sacrifice during the attack.
In his final days, Fernandez recalled longing to return to Pearl Harbor for the annual commemoration, symbolizing his enduring connection to his military past and fallen comrades.
