    Thank you so much for this post. I have a lot of family, including my husband, and countless friends who are veterans from OIF, Vietnam and WWII. I am so thankful for all of them.

    My grandfather was stationed at Pearl Harbor in the winter of 1941. His ship was out on manuvers, and was therefore one of the ships spared that day. My mother and grandmother were directly across the street watching it all. They had to flee the city and live in the mountains for a while because they thought the Japanese would flat out invade. They were issued gas masks and other items to prepare for the possiblity of invasion. She missed most of the 5th grade because they closed the schools for the rest of the school year. What she remembers most were the sounds and smells coming from the explosions. And of course as a child she remembers later being out of school and sneaking through barbed wire to get to the beach.

    I used to take my mom to school when studied the bombing of Pearl Harbor. At 80 she still remembers the day vividly.
