| History |
| Roy Mooney Pearl Harbor survivor. I recently had the pleasure of spending a few hours in the home of Mr and Mrs Mooney and enjoyed many stories from his life. Mr. Mooney served in the 19th United States Army Infantry at Schofield Barracks, company C Oahu, Territory of Hawaii from November 2, 1940 - February 20, 1943. Mr Mooney writes in his book, "Images from Pearl Harbor". "On Sunday morning December 7, 1941 several of us were in the mess hall on the first floor when we first heard the bombing. We then rushed up to our bunk area on the third floor facing toward Wheeler Field. We got there in time to see most of the planes with the Red Rising Sun on the wings flying over, the 21st infantry barracks. The planes were firing their machine guns on the top of the barracks with bullets ricocheting all over the area. I have thought many times, "what a wonder that none of us were hit." We kept saying to each other, "THE JAPS ARE HERE"!" |
