Memories of Pearl

What a superb, moving article--”Bittersweet Memories of Pearl Harbor” by Anita Zelman on Dec. 7.

As a bewildered sailor wandering the streets of Honolulu a few months after Dec. 7, 1941, in dress whites and a hat shaped like a strawberry box pushed back on my head, I certainly related.

Having since retired from the Navy, I have been to the Arizona Memorial many times, never without getting a little choked up and feeling very humble. I found it necessary to brush aside a tear before I could finish the article.
