I know that most of the people at home will be exceedingly interested in every thing we do now, so here is what has happened today. ‘ I was down at the U. S. 0. rec-‘ reation hall this morning, when the{ report came through “all hands re-‘ .port 'to your Ibases ixmiiiediately— all leaves, liberties and xfurloughs immediately cancelled. Well, we did n’t. know what had happened at rthe time, but we figured the Japs had lit in somewhere and that things were really popping at last. On ‘reporting 'back to the island, we were told to get out 'of our dress 'blues and into our dungarees, must er outside on {the double and pre pare tfor an attack. An officer told us what had hap- Hpened in Pearl Harbor, and to be ‘.prepared to load planes with bombs at any minute. He was very much excited—we all were, and his words expressed the feelings we all .felt— “l, .for one, am very glad that this has finally happened. We won‘t have to conceal our {feelings and there's nothing I’d like beter than to get a crack at those slaps!” You folks at home are probably scared or worried about some of us, but everyone of us is glad to be here—our morale is 100 percent, and we are all longing for our own per sonal chance at them.
