Good Morning NY. I remember Pearl Harbor. Living in Alaska the news came through and said Dutch Harbor. Don’t you know our tiny town of Craig was in an unroar for awhile. Our government did evacuate the Aleuts from the Aleution Islands to Ketchikan. I can imagine they were pretty miserable. I remember riding by their “encampment”, but I never saw anyone. That’s what I remember, as a child, of Pearl Harbor.
I was stationed in the Aleutian Islands back in the seventies. (Shemya AFB)
I flew over to Attu in a C-130 with our chaplain while at Shemya. The commander met our plane and took us out in a snowcat and gave us a tour of the island, and the battles that were fought there against the Japanese. Pretty heady stuff for a simple Sergeant at that time.
We then found our way to the mess hall for a top notch dinner before flying back.
