Headlines from the past:
For today:
I was born January of 1939.
Yeah that was many years ago. Some of my first memories was the story of the “Japs
attacking Pearl Harbor”. Yes, the term
Japs was used all over this country. I once took a job to clear out a house for
demolition in the 1950s. As a youngster
I found news papers that I still have somewhere in storage. They are from the
beginning of WWII!

I remember that war. I
remember mama praying into the night for my brother Jr. He was in many battles
in the Pacific as a gunner on a Destroyer Escort ship. That time set my little
mind to becoming a part of the military. I definitely do not remember December 7th
1941, BUT my memories start just a few months later as my brothers went off to
war.
My mother would cry when
telling me that my brothers went off to war because some bad people had
attacked at a place called Pearl Harbor.
I remember the words very
plainly, “REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!” They were
heard throughout my youth. So YES, I do
remember.
I have always wondered and
never asked, “What were the words used in England & Europe at the beginning
of WWII? I remember the words “OVER THERE!”.
Those I remember very well.

How I remember Pearl Harbor was my mom telling me about hearing it announced on the radio. They had just gotten married November 22, and my dad went off for a couple of years.
We are so lucky to be in America.
My parents used to speak often about Pearl Harbor. As a matter of fact, when they heard the news, my father hastened mother to pack a hamper while they quickly drove out of town and enjoyed a picnic lunch. They both knew the call would be coming for him to report to duty and just wanted a little while to prepare themselves for what was to come.
