My wife was six years old, living with her civilian parents on the Pearl City Peninsula inside Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. She stood with her father in their front yard, and watched the Japanese torpedo bombers roar overhead at treetop level on their way to attack the USS Utah, only a few hundred yards away. She has written her account of that experience, and features that story and much more on her website.
