was stationed at Pearl on and off after the bombing--artillery gun position right above the Arizona in Waipahu-went back in 2004 (my 80th birthday) what a change--you can't go home again--just celebrated my 95th Herb Myles
I revisited my WW2 haunts--Pearl Harbor in 1984 (my80th birthday---will be 95 in 2 weeks)--spent some time on the Mighty Mo and also visited the Arizona memorial--my gun battery HQ was in Waipahu School near Marine Air Base in Ewa, with gun battalions all thru the sugar cane and pineapple fields--139th AAA Group of the 48th AAA Brigade-- on a mountain --Aiea Heights looking down on Pearl like a diorama--after the war we were moved to Fort Ruger in Waikiki--it is all gone now even most of the Fort--pity-
Back atcha-the very same to you
I was stationed at Pearl in WW2-not during the bombing, but alternately a year later in Waipahu overlooking a rolled over battleship and in Aia Heights on a mountain- overlooking the entire Harbor (LIKE A DIORAMA)--sometimes it was eerie--other times a sense of peace--on V J night with all the dozens of ships guns being fired and searchlights rolling through the sky it was like Coney island in celebration--the war was over-- It was the last war that was fought for any decent reason-I will be 95 in 2 weeks
simmer down, KIDS--I'll be 95 in 2 weeks Herb M.
to compare your dog to a politician is an insult to the dog--Your dog gives you unconditional love--your congressman gives something supposedly equivalent to the " act of love"
