My Dad was stationed aboard the Pennsylvania which was in dry dock at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. He, along with a bunch of fellow sailors had been given leave and he was Stateside when the attack occured. I believe he was at the Naval yard in Philadelphia. Told me about riding in a train full speed to get to the West coast and Mare Island. He's no longer around to ask questions of, but he was very upset that he hadn't been there, as he was a pharmacists mate and could have rendered aid to the casualties. He went on to the Leyte Gulf battle and took care of some severly injured pilots and crewmen. His station was below the waterline on ship and I don't think that did his nerves any good. Yes, I guess I do hold a grudge against the Japanese; even the way they treated their POWs was worse than the North Vietnamese. Remember, their god was the Emperor, not our Living God.
