John Mathrursse traveled to Hawaii for the event from Mountain View, Calif. He was an 18-year-old seaman second class walking out of the chow hall on Ford Island to see a friend on the battleship West Virginia when the bombing began.
He carried injured people to the mess hall and set them on mattresses grabbed from the barracks above.
The youngest of the survivors are now in their mid-90s. Still, most stood to salute for the national anthem.
This year, no survivor from the battleship Arizona attended the ceremony as none of the men were able to make the trip to Hawaii.
In 2015, 388 sets of remains were exhumed from the battleship Oklahoma and buried in a national cemetery in Honolulu. The Oklahoma had the second-highest number of dead after the Arizona at 429, though only 35 were identified in the immediate years after the attack.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency has identified 168 sailors and Marines from the Oklahoma since the exhumations three years ago. It has said it expects to identify about 80% of the 388 by 2020.
Several families were scheduled to rebury their newly identified loved ones on Friday, including Navy Seaman 1st Class William Bruesewitz of Appleton, Wis.
