Probably the coolest in my mind is that my great-uncle Lauren was an Air Corps pilot at Hickam Field, the Army Field adjacent to Pearl Harbor,on December 7th, and received a Silver Star for his actions.
Meanwhile, his twin brother, Randy, was visiting DC that week, and just happened to get one of the few seats in the public gallery to witness the "Day that will live in infamy " speech the next day.
