Meet Pearl Harbor survivor Ken Potts from Provo, Utah.
Ken is one of two remaining USS Arizona survivors. He turned 100 on April 15 and the Utah National Guard celebrated Potts’ service by giving him a ride on an Army Black Hawk helicopter. Watch:
The other living USS Arizona survivor, Lou Conter, and Potts are expected at Pearl Harbor for the 80th anniversary of the surprise Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Oahu. Conter turns 100 in September.

I am always thrilled when I read stories of those who belonged to “the greatest generation.” Wonderful article! Thank you.
Thank you DCG for this wonderful post! He looks very well. I thank him for his valuable and tremendous service to our country.
It doesn’t surprise me that he’s from Utah, say what you will but native residents of Utah are some of the healthiest, cleanest living people in America, ESPECIALLY those from THIS Gentleman’s Generation. It makes my heart glad to see this-I hope he has a great time being acknowledged and celebrated as one of America’s greatest Patriots.
