Pearl Harbor Survivors Headline Our June Meeting
Frank Castronovo and Bill Halleran were stationed in Hawaii in December of 1941. On the morning of December 7th they were on duty when the Japanese attacked our ships in Pearl Harbor.
Frank (US Army 25th Division, 35th Inf., Company E) recalls the day and vividly remembers the "Black Sky"
in the harbor amidst the constant bombardment.
Bill (US Navy) was assigned to the light cruiser "Phoenix".
He also recalls the thick black smoke and the massive explosion of the USS Arizona. His position was manning a machine gun, and was able to get off some rounds at the swarming Japanese bombers.
They both stressed to never forget the heroes of WWII.
Well rest assured, we will never forget them, and we will never forget all those that made the supreme sacrifice defending our country's freedom in foreign wars. After their speeches they enjoyed food and drink and the hospitality of all the members that attended.
It was a very good turnout for our June Meeting.
Other business that was brought up was to remember The Father's Day Fire (6/17/01) and the three brave men that made the Supreme Sacrifice that day: Brian Fahey, Harry Ford and John Downing....
Joe Maurer randomly drew the Scholarship Winners.
Their names will be published here, so check back soon....
And finally flyers were passed out informing the members
of the Boat Ride on August 19th (see below).
We hope you can join us for the September Meeting.
That week will be a very busy week for the Steuben Association.
The Golf Outing is 9/14 (Monday), the meeting is Wednesday the 16th,
and the Parade is the 19th. "So see you in September!"
