What a fantastic story - Eleven-year-old Harrison Johnson set out to raise $100,000 for Pearl Harbor education programs - Guess what? He did it!

The entire clip from the TODAY show is a testament to the power of shared history - PLEASE WATCH IT FROM START TO FINISH - When the story hits the 3:38 mark, it reveals a beautiful connection. One of Harrison's favorite books was about Lou Conter (The Lou Conter Story). Harrison had written Lou, and in a heartwarming gesture, Lou sent him an autographed copy of the book in return.

Eleven-year-old Harrison Johnson from North Carolina was assigned a project about Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii when he became concerned that few of his classmates knew about what happened on that tragic day.

We again want to give thanks to Lou Conter and the sacrifices he made for all Americans. We also appreciate the words coming from the White House on this incredible man.

Since we met Lou, we have always known the historical impact that his life and the lives of every USS Arizona crew member have had on our country. Losing the last survivor - Has given the magnitude of the events of December 7, 1941, even more clarity of the importance of that day of infamy!

This week, America lost a hero.On December 7, 1941, Lou Conter was serving on the U.S.S. Arizona, stationed on Battleship Row at Pearl Harbor
