PEARL HARBOR DAY
Pearl Harbor Day was yesterday----67 years ago, and I am still talking about it. Not very much in the news---succeeding generations have their own wars to talk about.
Pearl Harbor Day remains vivid in my mind. A Sunday afernoon. My father lying on the kitchen couch, the kitchen was the only warm room in the house. The New York Giants game on the radio--and then the interruption with the news of the attack--My father's horror at the news he had been fearing for his entire lifetime---up all night listenting to the radio for news---There was no TV then.---and all that followed that day.
