Naval Base Signal Tower (Peart Harbor)

It was the morning of December 07, 1941
and the attack on Pearl Harbor
had only just begun.

From their vantage point at over
one hundred feet high signalmen
and controllers watched in fear and
amazement as Japanese fighters and
bombers filled Pearl Harbor's sky.

Twenty five men stationed high in
the Naval Base Signal Tower survived
to tell incredible stories of some
of America's worst hours.

The red and white checkered tower
serves as the control station for
ship and submarine movements in
Pearl Harbor. Twenty five men
stationed in the tower during the
Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor
survived to tell their story.

it reminds me so much of September 11th...
so heartbreaking
but praise be to God for all who survived.

Always, Alyssa

- And so it was that time stood still -
(blink, breathe, stand, fight)
