Re: Remembering Pearl Harbor
Several years ago, I noted here that the anniversary of the attack on Pearl always reminds me of a late friend who was in the Army at the time and based in Hawaii. Not long after the attack, I had a letter from him describing his experience. He and a buddy had been out carousing all night and were staggering back to their barracks when the Japanese planes appeared and began bombing and strafing. They ducked into a culvert for safety and, after looking on for a bit, his buddy observed, "Somebody's gonna get in a lotta trouble over this." Neither realized how true that was, or how much troublel there would be. -- Fran
