Today is the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. My father, now 93 holds up a photo of himself when he was 19 when he joined the Navy in 1939. He witnessed the attack and is joyful to be a Pearl Harbor survivor.

As a Vietnam veteran stationed at Hickam AFB for many years please tell your father THANK YOU!!! The billet I lived in still had the bullet holes is the walls of the building from the attack on Dec. 7th. Your father is a honored hero in my book. #10455346

Little did I know at that time that my mother knew very well all about the war and Pearl Harbor. She was one of the first women to join the navy after the war started and they began to allow women into service.
The ladies in the Navy were called "WAVES" then.. "Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service".
My mother had a top secret clearance as a storekeeper. She worked with ships provisions and had knowledge of where
what food was on the ship.
