Pearl Harbor Day Memories by the Fahrner Family
The Fahrner children recall the attack on Pearl Harbor heard explosions and a terrifying morning. Their father managed food and dodged danger while shells hit the mess hall and a tragedy struck Master Sgt. Arthur Fahrner. The family evacuated to the University of Hawaii and later to the United States as drills and fear persisted. Master Sgt. Fahrner was awarded the Legion of Merit for his logistics work during the crisis. Pat, reflecting, calls the day exciting yet frightening.
