Thanks for posting this. I was a year old at the time of Pearl Harbor but before the war was over I have memories of certain aspects of it.
I was 7 years old when we heard (by way of mouth) that Pearl Harbor was bombed. Living in the country, with no electricity, not radios or TVs it took a while to understand the reality of it all.
Then fathers, uncles, cousins and neighbors begin leaving to serve in our defence.
Wow, 67 years later, most of those men and women are gone now. How we have learned to appreciate them and wish we had thanked them more while they were still with us.
Yes they were a great generation!
