Ceremony at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii December 7th to honor the 189 who died and 303 who were wounded during the
surprise attack by Japanese fighter aircraft in 1941. Many were killed while still asleep in the consolidated barracks, a 3,200-man
barracks, the largest in the Army Air Forces at the time. The chow hall, located in the center of the building, took a direct hit, killing
35 men eating breakfast. Several cooks who sought shelter in a walk-in cooler were killed by the concussion of subsequent blasts.
