                              PEARL HARBOR

  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, 2,403 American servicemembers lost their 
lives during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The men and women who 
survived that day of infamy led the United States, and our Allies, to 
victory in the Pacific during World War II.
  Today I would like to specifically honor four of those survivors, the 
members of the North Dakota Pearl Harbor Survivor's Association. This 
group of four active members helps keep the memory of those who served 
so bravely alive: John Martin of Bismarck, ND; Clem Lonski of 
Jamestown, ND; Harold Bruchwein of Wahpeton, ND; and Agnes Shurr of 
Grand Forks, ND.
  On behalf of the U.S. Senate, my fellow North Dakotans, and all 
Americans, I would like to commend and thank these four individuals not 
only for their bravery and valor in leading the fight over fascism 60 
years ago, but also for their commitment and dedication to keep alive 
the memory of those who gave their lives in defense of freedom on 
December 7, 1941.
