My grandfather was there at Pearl Harbor. His dad died when he was 5 and his mom tought school. He did ROTC at Michigan Tech in the 30's and went through the civilian pilot training program but it turned out he was color blind so they had him be a civil engineer (probably the reason I'm here today). As soon as the air raid started they put him and the rest of the engineers in a bunker. He went through the whole pacific campaign building runways and stuff. He bought a used car on Saturday the 6th and it was was pretty much destroyed. He passed away the day before I turned 3. I really wish I had gotten to spend much more time with him.
