I joined the USAF in 1961 and after all the tech schooling was assigned to Hickam AFB in Hawaii. One of the first things I noticed when I arrived at Hickam was that the headquarters building was pockmarked what appeared to be bullet holes and the hangar my workshop was in had a corner that had twisted and deformed girders. When I asked about these ‘features’ it was explained that they happened on December 7th, 1941 and were left so we will never forget. A mere 20 years separated me from that event. Quite sobering.
