On May 26, 2010, John Finn, the last surviving Medal of Honor blue-jacket from Pearl Harbor, died at the age of one hundred. In 2001, Finn had been one of the vets invited to Hawaii to see the premiere of Disney's Pearl Harbor. "It was a damned good movie," he insisted. "It's helped educate people who didn't know about Pearl Harbor and what happened there. I liked it especially because I got to kiss all those pretty little movie actresses."
The above is from pages 419 & 420 of "PEARL HARBOR - From Infamy to Greatness" by Craig Nelson.
