Below is a photo of four survivors who attended a ceremony to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor. The gentlemen — all gracious and generous and kind men — are wearing tan caps. Left to right stands Richard Cunningham of Hewitt, Texas, and then sitting: Vernon Kelly of Mesquite, Texas, Robert Brunk of Kerrville, Texas, and J.C. Alston from Troy, Texas. (I send a shout out to Helen McDonald, manager of events at the National Museum of the Pacific War. She organizes the annual event and has been invaluable in helping me to contact WWII veterans.)
