My dad was on the deck of the USS Arizona on that fateful day...He was setting up chairs for a church service when he saw the planes...he later was in politics and was a council member (mayor pro tem of Dallas)......
He finally wrote his story with a history professor at North Texas University and I'll never forget the passage when
he was asked during the pandemonium a day later Who was in charge ? He said no one and the professor pushed and my dad
said “Well you did whatever you were big enough to do “.
What a generation.
