MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) -- The 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is bringing survivors together on the USS Yorktown in Charleston Harbor.

The remembrance ceremony is being held Wednesday on the hanger deck of the World War-II era aircraft carrier.

A special program is scheduled on the carrier bringing together two generations.

The two generations will include those who were children in 1942 at the time of Pearl Harbor, and those who were children 10 years ago at the time of the 2001 terror attacks on Washington and New York City.
