My daddy had already been a soldier for about a dozen years when Pearl was attacked, in fact, he had been stationed there in 1930 during an early tour of duty (& learned to body surf there...always a tough mental image for me to get my head around!) He was in the Army Air Corps, Quartermaster (Supply), so he never had to be anywhere in any direct line of fire (lucky for me, I suppose, or I might not have been)...I do know he served in Peru, New Guinea, & several other locales in the South Pacific.
