I'll never forget the first hand account of a Pearl Harbor survivor that I met. You could see the scars on his face from the hot pieces of metal from exploding planes. His daughter later told me that I was 1 of 3 people that he ever shared his story with. I felt very honored.

But the peaceful Japanese were simply victims of white racist American aggression...and eventually the yankee dogs killed millions of innocent Nippon women & children with their air raids & atomic bombs...just read their history books...which state so to this very day.

My 5th grade teacher's brother was at PH. I'm proud also that my niece got to ride on the float in the Veterans' Day parade with one of the locals who was there also.

If only Lon Huriuchi would shoot Ito in the face.
I knew more than one widow made by Kamikazes.

A Great uncle was an Arizona survivor. His other Brothers on the same ship..did not make it. Now, he rests with them.
There was a time when the USN permitted brothers to serve on the same ship. Not anymore. |

I will never forget.
Close friend of the family was a Pearl Harbor Survivor. He was a civilian welder at the time of the attack. He was accorded all the respect and honors our military men were during the reunions until he passed away at around 100 yrs. old. I guess more than one ship was able to remain afloat due to his efforts. R.I.P. Earl
