December 7, 1941 is a day that forever changed our nation’s history and must not be forgotten. While Grandpa Hughie was not in the service when Pearl Harbor was attacked, it was the incident that motivated him to enlist in the Navy Reserves and join the submarine service to strike back at the Japanese navy.
David H. McClintock, the Captain of the USS Darter, was a Pearl Harbor survivor.
