| | | |  |  | | December 7th, 2015 | | New | PEARL HARBOR: Survivor recalls epic battle | | |  Like a lot of his fellow sailors on Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, Roger Marron was sleeping when Japanese planes swept in from the open Pacific and roared through Pearl Harbor just before 8.
“The night before, we had a battle of music,” said Marron, 95, of Riverside. “Each ship had its own band.” Marron wasn’t just recovering from a night of revelry, he had been working. As a naval electrician, he’d been responsible for the sound system for the small stage in the recreation center where the bands played. “A friend of mine woke me up,” he recalled. “He said, ‘They’re here.’” Somehow, Marron said, he understood what his friend meant. He jumped out of bed and the two raced outside. “We could see the ships being torpedoed,” he said. “The Oklahoma got torpedoed and we watched it roll over with all those guys inside of it. We knew a lot of people were dying out there.” Sailors were leaping from burning ships. Guns fired into the morning sky, trying to hit the attacking planes. “We were fairly close,” Marron said. “We’re standing there and here came a Japanese torpedo plane, probably from here to that telephone pole,” he said, pointing out the front window of his home to a pole about 150 feet away. “We could see the pilot and he had a big torpedo.” Marron, who grew up in Riverside, is one of the region’s last Pearl Harbor survivors. He will mark the anniversary at a 10 a.m. ceremony Monday, Dec. 7, at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco.

The Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts in Troop 6732 bowed their heads in prayer on Saturday in memory of their teacher Bennetta Bet-Badal, one of 14 people killed in the mass shooting.
The Assyrian American Association of Southern California turned its annual Christmas party into a memorial and fundraiser honoring Bet-Badal, and her husband expressed the family's gratitude during a phone call.
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts," he said. Bet-Badal drove an hour and a half every week to teach the Assyrian language to the scouts.

| New | Fall Fun with Troop 646 | | | Troop 646 of Alta Loma had a "Blast" helping out in October at this year's Old Baldy District Webelosree at Cucaomonga-Guasti Park in Ontario. The Scouts ran an event that had the Webelos looking to the sky to see how high their 2 liter Rocket would go! The Webelos really seemed to enjoy this event and the Scouts had fun running it! The following weekend, the Scouts took an 11 mile bike ride on the PET, while working on their Map N' Compass Requirement for Rank Advancement. It was a great day and perfect weather for a bike ride and to work on their skills. The Scouts are looking forward to another Bike Ride coming up in the New Year. Finally, Troop 646 ended the Camping season with a Family Camp Out at Yucaipa Regional Park. Blake P.; the SPL, had requested that the camp out be for all of the families and the Scouts all agreed. Blake's first camp out when he joined Boy Scouts was at Yucaipa R.P. and he wanted his last (Blake turns 18 in January) camp out to be at the same park, only this time, have his whole family there to celebrate! We had a great turn out, awesome weather, a huge potluck dinner on Saturday night, followed by an excellent Flag Retirement Ceremony led by Blake P., ASPL David M., Matthew G., Ivan S. and Matthew's sister, Girl Scout Amaya G. The Ceremony was very moving and many of the families had never seen one before, so it was very special!

Pearl Harbor Prayer
Gracious Heavenly Father, we humbly gather together in remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941 and the loss of life of so many and the many nightmares of the survivors.
Today, on the anniversary of the attack, we honor the memories of the 2400+ brave Men and Women who gave their lives for us, as well as those who continued to stand in our defense.
We remember the shock of this infamous and unprovoked attack; but we also remember the resolve and courage of a people that knew it must stand and fight for its cherished values.
Let this day be a time of remembrance for all citizens of our nation … to look back to 7 Dec 1941 and recount the sacrifice for the cause of freedom and democracy.
Lord, we look to you for guidance and in a spirit of praise and thanksgiving we acknowledge that you have shed your grace on us.
May we all honor those who have so nobly served, and brought glory to your Holy Name.
Amen
