Dec 7, 1941. It's losing it's place in History. Another 10 years and we kids of that generation will also be gone. I was fortunate enough to meet an ex Luftwaffe pilot in Rancho Bernardo, CA a few years back. He was with Hitler when the attack was reported. He told me that Hitler was enraged with the Japanese at that moment for he knew that the balance of power had shifted as the Americans would enter WW 2. I might have doubted his story had there not been a pic of him with Hitler and Goering. He also was one of the few to have flown the Me 263. Remember all of our Vets but today remember those kids that died at Pearl Harbor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

Me, I never forget. My cousin Claude was on the hospital ship Solace at Pearl Harbor. He was training to be a Pharmacist Mate. Graduated High School 10 months months before and joined the Navy in Jan 1941. He was transferred to the Solace on 11/7/41. The Solace had the job of pulling the burned sailors out of the water, from the burning bunker fuel around the California.
In the picture below, it is the white ship on the left side of the picture, on the north tip of Ford Island. Greg W. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-20561-1575783864.1.jpg) |
