When my Grandfather heard of the Pearl Harbour attack he enlisted in the 3rd New Zealand Army Division. He served with Americans up through the Island hopping campaign. He always had good things to say about US Servicemen and had much respect for them. He credited the US with saving Australia and New Zealand from a Japanese invasion.

@paulstan9828 3 года назад

Amazing hearing his memories of that day. Reading about Pearl Harbor in a history book is one thing but hearing a first hand experience is amazing.

@AndrewV-tm7ys 3 года назад

I retired out of Ft Shafter in 2019 and everytime I set foot on Hickam or Pearl I would try to imagine the faces of my brothers before me. Seeing your face and hearing your story is an honor. Love you brother.

@Evergreen1400 3 года назад

I grew up on Oahu in the late 80’s-early 2000’s. I went to school in Pearl city, my grandfather was alive and on the island when it was attacked he later went on to join the army during the war so I’ve spent many days daydreaming and wondering how it was back then.

This man is actually a different type of soldier than we are used to hearing from. He was not a citizen soldier that has become popular in the last 20 years. He was in the military prior to WW2. Higher caliber of soldier. Stricter requirements and most of all a volunteer. Most of these men rotated out by the time the war ended 5 years later. Amazing you could actually find a prior service veteran. Great work. Thank you so much for this history!!

My step father was on the USS California which was berthed in front of the USS Arizona. When the alarms went off he run up to the deck and saw the torpedoes coming. He jumped overboard and swam to Ford island. His job for the next few day was to sit at a desk with the ships roster. As he received information he would mark a crew member alive or dead. I guess there had to be over 1,000 crew members.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Amen. Repent and turn from sin!! Follow God's sacred 10 Commandments! Time is running out.

@edfederoff2679 3 года назад

I like what you do here - but with all due respect - I object to the way you press these vets to describe the carnage they experienced. You can see the painful reactions their recollections cause them. For them to recount that they witnessed death - is enough - IMHO.

@freethinker4048 3 года назад

But their stories need to be told, as hard as it is for them to talk about it. If we don’t hear we don’t realize what a truly great generation they were!

@edfederoff2679 3 года назад

@@freethinker4048 I respectfully disagree, my friend. I don't object to them recounting their stories - which carry enough pathos in their living and retelling to convey and honor their author's greatness. It's the demand for forensic details that I feel diminish those qualities, along with visiting upon these heroes needless pain and sorrow. Let us who have imaginations, use them to good purpose.

@edfederoff2679 3 года назад

I'm sorry - I meant no insult - but re-reading my comment, I see it could be construed as such. Let me re-phrase; We all have imaginations - lets use them to good purpose, and spare these men the remembering of graphic horrors they have spent most of their lives trying to forget.

@freethinker4048 3 года назад

@@edfederoff2679 however these men have the option to decline. I think it just shows how much courage and bravery they have. How are we really going to know history if we don’t hear it from people that experienced it. I get your point but with everything going on in America now I think now more than ever we need to hear what true courage is!
