August 1st Program Overview
Posted on 2 July, 2009 by Larry in WWII Program
Hello my name is Larry Martin, for about 10 yrs I have been interviewing WWll combat veterans. Three yrs ago the Jackson library and I started putting programs on for the public. I feel that it is very important for everyone to know what was given to all of us by these fighting men.
Images from the Pearl Harbor Attack
BattleShip Row – as seen from a Japense Bomber
Another story that was shared was as he was shooting at the Japanese they were so close that he could see them laughing at him because they were flying too close and his guns could not be aimed at them well. He also told me of watching the Battleship Oklahoma which is the ship that we see whenever we see pictures of the attack on Pearl Harbor that went over with her keel up in the air, seeing the sailors trying to crawl up on her keel and because of the oil on her they would slide into the burning water and die. He shared many more stories with me that I have on DVD. If anyone has any questions about Colin or any of the 35 other interviews I have just contact this blog or e-mail me at batt.chief@yahoo.com.
