PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Everett Hyland was ferrying ammunition to an anti-aircraft gun aboard the USS Pennsylvania on Dec. 7, 1941, when a bomb hit, throwing him down.
“I never heard anything. The only thing I knew I was flat on my face and my arms were extended in front of me and they were all purple and bleeding,” Hyland said. “I ended up pretty well banged up.”
On Friday, Hyland was to join some 50 survivors and hundreds more family members and officials at a Pearl Harbor pier overlooking the USS Arizona Memorial to honor the attack’s victims.

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has died from the gunshot wound he suffered early Monday when he was shot in his Miami home.
“He did not make it through the night,” said Taylor’s attorney, Richard Sharpstein, who called the incident “a ridiculous unnecessary tragedy."…
Taylor’s death comes after what had been interpreted as optimistic signs following hours of surgery.
Taylor had squeezed a doctor’s hand and made facial expressions early Monday evening, Redskins officials and a family friend said, providing some hope after he emerged from seven hours of surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital. He had been “unresponsive and unconscious” until that point and doctors had feared possible brain injury or death, according to Taylor’s attorney, Richard Sharpstein.
