Frank Curre, who joined the Navy as a teenager in his own words about Pearl Harbor:
“That ship come 12 to 15 foot in the air, broke in two and settled back down,” he says. “If you’d had a bag of popcorn and you’d went out here in the breeze and threw it up in the air — that was bodies that went out all over that harbor.”
And most hauntingly how he remembers Pearl Harbor today:
“I still have the nightmares, never got over the nightmares. And with God as my witness, I read my paper this morning- and right now, I can’t tell you what I read. I can’t remember.
But what happened on that day is tattooed on your soul. There’s no way I can forget that. I wish to God I could.”
