Pearl Harbor: An Eyewitness Remembers
Manage episode 388095316 series 3440529
Imagine you’re a ten-year-old living in Honolulu, Hawaii, just a few blocks from Waikiki.
Now imagine you wake up on a beautiful December morning to the sounds of planes overhead and explosions not so very far away.
You’re too young to understand: Why these planes are attacking. Why your mother and grandmother are so frightened. Why you won’t see your father again for more than 3 years.
And you definitely don’t understand that you’ve just witnessed America's entry into the Second World War.
Learn more about the people trying to keep Pacific POWs’ memories alive.
