As a young child, my mother lived in Honolulu. The family was there on December 7, 1941, she remembers the Japanese planes flying over her house. She watched World War 2 start.
75 years ago, my BFF's dad was a young sailor aboard the USS Missouri, he watched WW2 end.
My DIL’s parents both lived in Honolulu on Dec 7,one is still around.
