On my dads ship, three missiles barely missed the supply of aviation fuel, the bugler said. He got a few more gray hairs that day. At approximately 8:10 a.m., the USS Arizona exploded, having been hit by a 1,760-poun- d armor-piercinbomb that slammed through its deck and ignited its forward ammunition magazine. In less than nine minutes, it sank with 1,177 of its crew a total loss. The USS Oklahoma, hit by several torpedoes, rolled completely over, trapping 400 men inside. Although this is merely fact for researchers, Fiske said he remembers the incident clearly. There were 32 men trapped in the hull of the USS Oklahoma for two days. When we were finally able to get to them, the first man out looked around and his first words were Who the hell dent but after a long, silent pause, his smile faded and with a distant look, tears began to well up in his eyes. Sometimes, at night, I can hear them knocking on a door, but when I get up to answer it, theres no one there, he said softly. His eyes locked on the American flag flying above the Pacific Air Forces headquarters and with visions of death and devastation still in his eyes, he continued. Youd think g after all these years, Id forget that day. But I dont. I remember it just like it was yesterday. My God, these guys were my buddies. My captain was killed. These guys were like family. We worked together; we had fun together. You can never forget that. Its hard to tangible evidence of Dec. 7, 1941, and are a constant reminder that members are vulnerable, and that they can assuredly expect the unexpected. Those who serve in Hawaii have vivid reminders on many of the bases, said Daniel Martinez, USS Arizona Memorial historian. But really, theyre reminders of those who served nearly 60 years ago. Martinez has dedicated many years of his life researching the attack on Pearl Harbor and gathering first-hanaccounts to keep the legacy alive.

The Japanese touched every ship in Battleship Row they even knew each ships name, Fiske said, shaking his head. won? Fiske laughed as he recalled the inci The USS California and USS West Virginia sank at their moorings, while the USS Utah, converted to a training ship, capsized with more than 50 of its crew. The USS Maryland, USS Pennsylvania and USS Tennessee all suffered significant damage. The USS Nevada attempted to run out to sea, but took several hits and had to be beached to avoid sinking and blocking the harbor entrance. While the attack on Pearl Harbor intensified, other military installations on Oahu were hit. Hickam Air Field suffered damages when an 8 a.m. attack Martinez emphasized the importance of encouraging the lessons learned n from, rather than the bitterness of, Pearl Harbor. He feels the lessons of Pearl Harbor must be passed down from generation to generation.

MAIN, If you haven't bothered to write a will because you think your assets will automatically go to your immediate heirs, you may be surprised to learn that, not only may a judge make the final decision about distributing your assets, but also, your estate may be gobbled up by avoidable taxes. A will ensures that your wishes are followed and conserves your assets. For additional information, my phone me at office is located at 533 26th Street, Suite 100. Tel.: at http:www.havasIaTv.coui.

For example, the testator may direct that a family heirloom go to a specific relative. In some cases, the will makes specific reference to a separate document which is included in the will. This type of document, known as a specific bequest document, makes bequests to particular individuals. Because it can be modified by the testator without an attorney, provided that it specifically refers to the will and defines particular items of property and who is to receive them upon the testator's death, they lend themselves well to periodic changes. 395-055- HINT: Wills in ft LAYTON LB , I WELCOME m 547-008- 8 Marketing Layton, UT 84041 State male or female with order. 7 For more information call (801) P.O.
