We lived in Hawaii for many years when I was a kid. My dad was an Air Force officer. He worked at PACAF and the building he we to work in every day was riddled with bullet holes. To be more accurate they were not holes in the concrete, just large "wounds" in the facade put there by Japanese war planes. They were very noticeable and will remain there I hope for all the current and future people working in that building.
We were in Hawaii when they filmed the movie Tora Tora Tora. We could sit on out front porch and watch the Zeros fly over and see the large explosions done for the movie. It was comforting to know the pilots on those Zeros were American and had no bullets or bombs. I could not imagine the terror of that day 75 years ago.
In another 75 years we will look at that day like we look at the major Civil War battles. I stood on the field at the site of the both battles of Manassas, VA and it was a solemn place. I hope the future generations remember Pearl Harbor with the same respect shown at Manassas.
