If you are interested in #PearlHarbor veterans and their stories or are related to a veteran who served at Pearl Harbor in #WWII I welcome you to the @Facebook group I began to capture these memories a few years ago. One of our active members is a 98 yr old Pearl Harbor vet from Texas who was 17 on the USS Phoenix https://www.facebook.com/groups/667039773326886/?ref=share #Histodons #Geneadons

@ChiefGenealogist Followed! I remember going to Lunalilo Elementary school near Ala Moana in Honolulu where there was a piece of metal in the playground under a monkeypod tree. 3rd graders would tell the new kids that this was an unexploded bomb from the Pearl Harbor attack. Boy, I believed it.

In retrospect 🤔 maybe that wasn't all quite true.

I wish I could find a picture of that hunk of metal. #urbanlegends

@ChiefGenealogist I'd join, but, like the bird site, Facebook is quite a waste of my time. My grandfather was at Pearl Harbor around that time, though.

@ChiefGenealogist My 98-year-old Uncle is also a World War II vet who was part of the Naval forces who cleared the mines for the occupation troops to enter the harbor 30 days after Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
