My Mom's friend up the street was a radioman in the Army Air Corps at Hickam field. Likewise, he would not speak of any details. All he'd say is, “I'll never forget that day.”
I sent this link to my friend, though I’m not sure I have a good email for her; I told her when I saw it I thought of her dad. I said at the top, “No apologies, Japan.” May we not forget that day.
