Pearl Harbor Anniversary
A stricken U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
today in Hawaii focus on Doolittle’s raid on Tokyo that sought revenge for Pearl Harbor. I have met the daughters of fathers who flew on that raid. I also once befriended a National Parks worker who guided tours at the Pearl Harbor memorial in her native Hawaii for the winter half of the year. Not surprising, she said the many old men she saw overcome with grief during the tour made that job far from a typical National Parks position.
