| Whit Criswell Bryan |
I haven't posted in over a month, but I never want to let Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day pass without acknowledgment. This year, only 16 survivors remain.
My father, Whit Criswell Bryan, served as a Pharmacist's Mate at Mobile Hospital #2 during the Pearl Harbor attack. I deeply regret that we didn’t talk more about his experiences. He passed away in 2001 at the age of 80.
Last year, I had the chance to watch an interview on the Pacific Historic Parks website featuring Harry Chandler, another Pharmacist's Mate stationed at Mobile Hospital #2 on that fateful day. His story was filled with details I had never heard before. There’s more to this story, and I hope to share it soon. In the meantime, I wanted to recommend this site to friends and family—it’s an incredible resource filled with powerful WWII oral histories.
