80 years ago today

Dad had hitched a flight from Pearl to Ca., and had driven almost all the way across to Ga. That AM, Dec. 7th.... he told me the car radio said something like Pearl had been bombed by the Japs and all military personnel was required to return to base. He turned it off and made like he did not hear it. He kept going, married my mom the next day, and then drove right back to Ca. and then back to Pearl. I was born about 7 years later, just outside Honolulu, Hi. Maybe why I crave pineapple to this day!!???
He mentioned the war to me....twice.
