Warren “Red” Upton, one of the last survivors of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, died on Christmas Day. Upton was the sole remaining crewmember of the dreadnaught battleship the USS Utah, one of the ships sunk during the attack. Upton was 105.
 
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pearl Harbor Survivor Warren ‘Red’ Upton, the last living survivor of the USS Utah. Following a short hospital stay, Warren died on December 25th surrounded by his loving family,” Pacific Historic Parks said in a statement on Facebook announcing his death.
 

Upton was one of the less than 20 survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor still alive. With his death, only 15 remain, according to a tally kept by the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
