Comment on Remembering the unforgettable: Pearl Harbor survivors honored in Alameda

A standing-room-only crowd of several hundred on the hangar deck of the aircraft carrier Hornet in Alameda paused Thursday to remember Dec. 7, 1941, a day the United States would never forget. On that day 76 years ago, Japanese planes attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor and plunged America into war. It was an unusual occasion on the Hornet, marked with stories by Pearl Harbor survivors, remembrances of the war from other World War II veterans, and a talk from a woman who saw the attack when she was a child.
