I don't believe that my grandfather was old enough to join just yet when Pearl Harbor was bombed, but he did join in '43 or '44 (Navy; he worked as a machinist's mate in Hawaii).

December 7th 1941, to me, is like September 11th '01, along with such inhumane acts as the Holocaust and Stalin's paranoid efforts to maintain power (at the cost of 20 million lives) as unforgettable.

Thank you for posting this.
