Elizabeth later worked for OSS and retired from CIA.

I’d have told her anything she wanted to know.

There are still many graphic reminders of the attack at Hickam AFB such as bullet holes in Pacific Air Command HQ.

Great read with only one small thing that caused me to wonder: the paragraph about some injured being brought in with a “T” on their forehead. She wrote this was to indicate the administration of a tetanus shot as part of treatment. I was taught, years ago, this was to indicate the use of tourniquet.

Other, more knowledgable, FReeper opinions/info?

Thank you for the post. A good report.

Loved the first person reporting. chilling. It ended rather abruptly. I wanted more from her.

FDR called Pearl Harbor a day of infamy.
Obama calls 9-11 a workplace accident.

BTTT!
And salute to those Men and Women. Thank God that they were there to sacrifice and defend our freedom.
My Dad joined the US Coast Guard in September of 1941 thinking that we may get involved in the war.
He found himself to be an invasion sailor on the Cavalier in the Pacific for the next few years fighting the Imperial Japanese.
Salute to you, Dad.
