My late father-in-law was in the USN, and was assigned to Pearl in June of 1942, when much of the damage and carnage was still evident. It was a key life experience for my two sons at age 9 and 11 to get a personal guided tour of Pearl Harbor with Grandpa a number of years ago. I just stood back, listened, and tried to wipe the tears away......
