I was at my aunt’s house for Sunday dinner in MA when we got the news and the adults were all talking about war.

My cousin and I,both 9 years old, were afraid that Christmas would be cancelled. Kids !!!!!!

My son’s in-laws were kids in Honolulu that day. It was quite frightening for them.

My family was visiting friends in MA that same Sunday, too. I was 10. I remember everyone asking “Where is Pearl Harbor?” We soon learned!

Kids....living in the now. LOL!

How frightening for sure, to be there in any capacity.
