Remembering December 7, 1941 - 68 Years Ago Today
I talked with Quinton Pyle when visiting the National
Museum of the Pacific War in the popular small town of
Fredericksburg, Texas.
An unassuming man, one knows little that Quinton Pyle was eyewitness
to a world and life changing event. On that fateful day on December 7th,
he saw up close as the USS Arizona exploded as it was hit by Japanese
torpedos on that fateful day at Pearl Harbor that led us into WWII. His
ship, the USS Bagley, was the first to return fire and down a Japanese
plane. He showed me his arm where the wounds from that day can still be
seen. I pray that he is still alive for others to hear his story and
others like him who are our Greatest Generation.
