PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Everett Hyland was ferrying ammunition to an anti-aircraft gun aboard the USS Pennsylvania on Dec. 7, 1941, when a bomb hit, throwing him down.
“I never heard anything. The only thing I knew I was flat on my face and my arms were extended in front of me and they were all purple and bleeding,” Hyland said. “I ended up pretty well banged up.”
On Friday, Hyland was to join some 50 survivors and hundreds more family members and officials at a Pearl Harbor pier overlooking the USS Arizona Memorial to honor the attack’s victims.
