Pearl Harbor survivor Ira 'Ike' Schab dies at 105

Pearl Harbor survivor and U.S. Navy veteran Ira “Ike” Schab has died. He was 105. His daughter says he passed away at home early Sunday. There remain only about a dozen survivors of the 1941 surprise attack, which killed just over 2,400 troops and propelled the United States into World War II. Schab joined the Navy at age 18, following in his father's footsteps. He was serving as a tuba player in the USS Dobbin’s band when the attack happened. In recent years Schab has traveled to an annual observance at the Hawaii military base to commemorate the fallen servicemen.

2 Iowa National Guard members killed in Syria attack are named

The two Iowa National Guard members killed in a weekend attack that the U.S. military blamed on the Islamic State group in Syria have been identified. The U.S. Army named them Monday as 25-year-old Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and 29-year-old Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ordered all flags in Iowa to fly at half-staff in their honor. A civilian working as a U.S. interpreter also was killed in the attack Saturday, and three other Iowa National Guard were wounded. A Syrian official says the assailant had joined Syria’s internal security forces as a base security guard two months ago and recently was reassigned amid suspicions that he might be affiliated with IS. The gunman was killed.
