toys were being used for the war think it was sad for lots of families that had a son gone” Hunter said “It was quite sad for them and kind of sad for the girls who had boy friends gone” The Pearl Harbor attack has had an ammonal effect on Hunter Whenever she sees anything pertaining to the attack she in feeling these on the History “They Channel aid so on on TV and you also see dent occasionally on the news when they compare something and show Pearl Harbor again It makes you little nervous even though you know the outcome aura We were sure worried then” Robert “Ag” Nielson of Fillmore was about T5 and lived in Oak City when the attacked Peart Harbor He and Jhpamsre several other boys spent Sunday afternoon touch football at the sand dunes ploying of Oak City 'vol ”W hen we ” got home word had come over de radio bat Pearl Harbor had been bombed” Nielson said “Of course eryone was confused They didn’t know exactly what it meant and what was going ora to that stage of be game” The next day all Delta High School dents gathered in be auditorium to listen ttr President Roosevelt ask Congress for a federation of war against Japan Nielson said it was extremely sobering and frightening All of the students were filled with ticipation and wonder “1 figured that many of our classmates would be invoived”Nielson said “No doubt number of lives would be lost It would terrific change in our way ofliving” Nielson said Japan bought it could defeat the US because wc were divided between be war in the Pacific and be war against and Italy in be Atlantic The US Germany was not prepared for Pearl Harbor “They caught us wib our pants not only down but clear off think” Nielson said “If bey would have known how bad bey hurt us I bink bey could have probably walked right on in the mainland” People living along be west coast not only feared a mainland invasion but also feared living wib bem That fear led to the of residents and citizens of Japanese descent They were placed in internment or camps like Tofor of duration be war be paz “As I look back on bat bat was a sad situation” Nielson said “These folks were loyal Americans We took their businesses and destroyed all that bey ’d worked so hard to obtain” Nielson believes were interned because of a hysteria that moved broughout the US “Anyone who looked Japanese was the enemy even bough bey weren’t in most cases of course" Nielson said At home any apparent man who did not go to war was looked down upon Nielson felt some of bis ridicule cause he wasn’t able to enlist in be service until 1946 because his father a farmer was laid up after he had surgery The government considered food production crucial and wanted Nielson home to tend the farm until his father was able to do so “I felt kind of guilty not getting in sooner but as soon as I could got bere” he said Nielson helped process GI’s out of be ser- “We went into shock tion" Hunker said the whole was over very angry” Bunker said bousands FSB during fie

Pearl Harbor and World happened War II She also hopes they will read and listen to news reports newspapers about wars going on in be world today “They need to pay attention to it while it’s going on
