Pearl Harbor Survivor
Uploaded: December 10, 2013

This is Alex Horanzy one of the two remaining Pearl Harbor Day survivors in the state of New Jersey.
----
Mr. Horanzy was the keynote speaker at this year's Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony aboard the Battleship USS New Jersey on December 6.
-----
The ceremony was conducted under a heavy tent on the rear deck of the ship. I had come prepared for an outdoor ceremony (as it had been for the last two years that I attended) and did not have a bright enough lens for dark conditions. However the digital noise seems to accentuate the sadness that Mr. Horanzy was surely remembering.

Touching portrait, Michelle. It must weigh heavily on his heart to have survived when so many others perished. I hope he was able to live his life with joy. #10918719Monnie Ryan December 10, 2013
