Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day - 81 years ago today

Whit Criswell Bryan standing in front of the Mobile Hospital Number 2 in 1942. 

My father, Whit Criswell Bryan, was a young pharmacist mate stationed in the Territory of Hawaii when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He had only a week prior to the bombing been assigned to the USN's Mobile Hospital #2.

Dad relayed some information about the bombing and had some photos and pictures, but I really did not know much about the mobile hospital. However, the oral narrative of Dr. Henry Felch Page Jr, found at the Library of Congress, added much more to the mobile hospital pictured in my head. Click on the link to hear his stories.
