Thank you for posting a reminder to those who may not have remembered.
I will always remember.
My uncle was a young sailor aboard the U.S.S. West Virginia, anchored on Battleship Row at Pearl Harbor ahead of and outboard of the U.S.S. Arizona. During the attack he was blown into the water and had to swim away from his ship under the burning oil on the surface. Although he and my aunt lived in a beautiful home with a pool, to his dying day he could not get into water deep enough to cover his knees without having flashbacks of his swim during the Japanese attack.
