Shocked and off-balance, NBC follows up on the above report with a live
remote from Honolulu via telephone. An operator interrupts the call, and
while waiting to reestablish contact, news shifts to Washington D.C. and
continues on to bulletins from Honolulu, Washington, Berlin, San Francsico
and Ottawa. The shock of the moment is movingly captured in an extraordinary
manner. A true gem of an audio historical document, courtesy of Ian Holder.

to Pearl survivors. We are losing more every day, may they know peace and comfort free from the memories.

I had a PH survivor as a neighbor while growing up. He didn't talk much about it but did his own remembrance every Dec 7th.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
