Also did not serve, but my older brother was 82AB. Dad was Navy. Interesting story came up in my local news.
Dude survived initial attack and ran back in to help. He lost his life honerabley and was finally laid to rest 80 years later in my home town.

Hero lost in Pearl Harbor identified 80 years later, buried in Sierra Vista
Signalman Third Class Austin Henry Hesler was killed in action at just 21 years old. His family says he was able to escape the initial bombing but went in to save more lives.

Hate to be THAT guy but as a vet... DO NOT tell vets thank you on Memorial Day. Today is about those who gave their lives. The only ones that have the right to say "you're welcome" can't say it any longer

Desert, that’s why we thank our Vets when we see them so take the thanks and more on quit being that guy! ?
Speaking of thanking Vets.
we were at a State run dove shoot where you draw for stakes to hunt dove.
Well the state guys said they are giving this old gentleman the one stake out of the draw and give it to him because it was in the shade and the birds just sail in and also the state workers can keep an eye out for him retrieve birds bring him water etc.
The state guy also told everyone that the old man is a PEARL HARBOR SURVIVOR! After saying that we all begin to clap and cheer and shake his hand and even giving him hugs the man stood there in tears thanking all of us. I couldn’t wait to talk with the Veteran about what it was really like being in one of the most horrifying attacks on US soil he told all of us stories after stories about his friends his family that was in WWII it was one of my best ever hunts!
Man Up Desert and let me give you a hug and you like it! LOL!
