Corpsman! Pearl Harbor

Corpsman! Pearl Harbor

Harry Chandler arrived at Pearl Harbor in September 1941, serving as a United States Navy Corpsman. He believed his time in Hawaii would be paradise, a stark contrast to the cold winters of New England. On December 7, 1941, Harry's world was shaken by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu. On that "Day of Infamy," Harry's duty became saving lives and retrieving charred bodies.
