"The Harry Robert Kerr Chapter of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, Inc. has asked the Patriot Guard to join them on Sunday, May 27, 2012, as they honor the few remaining Georgia survivors of the disastrous attack at Pearl Harbor. There are only 29 Pearl Harbor survivors left in Georgia and they are expecting a good number of them to be at Marietta National Cemetery for this memorial service. The Patriot Guard is honored that our presence has been requested, and we will be in Marietta to honor these brave survivors. Georgia veteran Tommy Clack will be the keynote speaker for this memorial, you do not want to miss this one." ~ Patriot Guard 2012
