0755hrs Hawaiian Time, the first wave...
I listen to survivors describe it, and still I can't comprehend a quiet Sunday morning, routine activities, innocence as a nation, shattered by the carnage. My Father sailed into Pearl 4 mos after the attack, and said you could still smell the attack.
I guess that's why 9-11 hits us the same way, innocence as a nation, shattered by the unimagined carnage of an enemy.
*Thankyou to my Father, his Brothers, and that generation that paid a price for us.
*Thankyou to our present brothers and sisters who have served, and are serving and paying the price of freedom.
*Thankyou to those that will serve in the future, who'll pay the price of future freedom.

there's a line in Casablanca, when Humphrey Bogart is getting drunk, thinking back. He says to Dooly Wilson, "Sam, it's December, 1941, in Casablanca; what time is it in New York?"
"I dunno, Mr. Rick. My watch stopped."
"They're probably sleeping. They're sleeping all over America."
If you look closely at the chit Bogey signs at the beginning of the movie, it's dated December 2, 1941. I always liked that scene.
My dad was in Hawaii during the war. Not on the 7th, he was still in high school; but not too long afterwards.

Military Humor....
Not minimizing what happened 61 years ago, but a friend sent me this. It's how the US Navy in the Persian Gulf commemorate their feelings on the Japanese attack...

I put my flag out at midnight, it's lit up so it's legal to hang. It'll stay until midnight tomorrow in rememberance.
*I doubt the news agencies will remember anything but a passing sentence.

On board Arizona, the ship's air raid alarm went off about 0755, and the ship went to general quarters soon thereafter. Soon after the attack began, the ship sustained eight bomb hits; one hit on the forecastle, glancing off the face plate of Turret II and penetrating the deck to explode in the black powder magazine, which in turn set off adjacent smokeless powder magazines. A cataclysmic explosion ripped through the forward part of the ship, touching off fierce fires that burned for two days; debris showered down on Ford Island in the vicinity.
Acts of heroism on the part of Arizona's officers and men were many, headed by those of Lt. Cmdr. Samuel G. Fuqua. the ship's damage control officer, whose coolness in attempting to quell the fires and get survivors off the ship earned him the Medal of Honor. Posthumous awards of the Medal of Honor also went to Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd, the first flag officer to be killed in the Pacific war, and to Capt. Van Valkenburgh, who reached the bridge and was attempting to fight his ship when the bomb hit on the magazines destroyed her.
The blast that destroyed Arizona and sank her at her berth alongside of Ford Island consumed the lives of 1,103 of the 1,400 on board at the time.

A tear never forgets.....
Oil still leaks from the U.S.S. Arizona's oil bunkers. Divers doing salvage months after the attack on the Arizona, swam through hundreds of bodies in the dark holds of the ship. One diver described the boney fingers scratching his helmet like, "the tinkling of windchimes."
Dick Fiske, a bugler on the U.S.S. West Virginia, wasn’t the only Pearl Harbor survivor in his family. His father, Frank Fiske, was the Navy chief commissary steward on the U.S.S. Tangier, and his brother Frank Fiske, Jr., was an Army medic at Schofield Barracks. Dick Fiske was one of many servicemen to have family at Pearl Harbor. The U.S.S. Arizona carried 36 sets of brothers (33 pairs and three sets of three) and one father-son pair. When she was bombed on December 7, 1941, 24 of those sets and the father-son pair died. Less than a month later five Sullivan brothers—George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert—from Waterloo, Iowa, joined the Navy hoping to serve together. A friend of theirs had been killed on the Arizona, and they wanted to fight. The Sullivans were assigned to the U.S.S. Juneau, which was sunk by a Japanese submarine on November 13, 1942, during the Battle of Guadalcanal. All five Sullivan brothers were killed.
At that time the Navy and other military branches began to consider separating brothers in combat. In July 1942 the Navy forbade commanding officers from forwarding requests from brothers to serve on the same ship or station. Mandatory separation of brothers already serving together was considered, but no action was taken. On October 26, 1944, the War Department announced a new policy to remove surviving sons from the hazards of combat. If a family had lost two or more sons in the armed forces and had only one surviving son, either the family or the son could apply for him to be removed from hazardous duties. This policy is still in effect today, but Navy family members can serve together on the same ship.

I have been to the USS Arizona Memorial twice in my life and I must say it is a humbling experience. To stand there and see the bubbles of oil rise to the surface....... They say it may continue to leak for 50 more years. There are still so many bodies who's final resting place is there, below the water. Both times I threw a lei of flowers off the side of the memorial for all of those who gave their lives for our country's freedom. To all of our soldiers...past and present ...to all of those who paid the ultimate price so that we could live out lives in freedom ....to both of my grand fathers and my great uncles who served their country and came home to enjoy the freedom they fought for ...and especialy to my Great-Uncle, who died in a helicopter crash in Hawaii during the war, and was laid to rest at Punchbowl
