<p>Amazing to me that there are still veterans of the attack who will be remembering their comrades.

<p>One of my uncles was a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was stationed on the USS Arizona. I wish he were still around, he was an amazing person to listen to.</p>
<p>I read an article in our local newspaper this morning. I never understood the impact this incident had on people until 9/11. So many people compared 9/11 to Pearl Harbor. Since it took me a good three months to stop having nightmares after 9/11, I started having more compassion for the memory of Pearl Harbor. I don’t think I’m explaining myself very well, but until 9/11, the story of Pearl Harbor was- well, just a story. Now I have a better sense of what Americans felt on that day.</p>
