(More customer reviews)Okay, so I helped this book come to fruition! But I've got to say that this is the most interesting 85-year-old gentleman I have ever met! In fact, I encouraged him to make sure these stories didn't leave this earth when he does...they are stories you've likely never heard. He was there! He was an eye witness. This is a little book you'll read from beginning to end without stopping. While we can't get away from the horror that happened December 7th, 1941 - what isn't told is the more intimate human side. After reading this book, you'll know both sides of the story. A must for the younger generation who need to understand this country's history or be doomed to repeat it. An added bonus is that a part of what you spend on the book goes to the Peter Limon Organization for Families of Wounded Veterans, which helps family members, along with Fisher House, visit their wounded loved ones who are in hospitals around the country.

Peter Limon was 17 when he joined the U.S. Navy.This was during rough financial times in history. Without a father or mother, the navy would become Peter's home.He was proud to be a Mexican-American boy, now a part of America's finest.The prospects of learning, and travel and flying were beyond his wildest dreams.LIttle did he know that he would be there, One Day In Infamy, when America suffered its worse blow in history. Peter tells tales, that even to this day in 2008 he hasn't heard anyone else tell.He believes that some of his stories accurately record events that until now haven't been recorded - stories of pride, prejudice and prostitutes.Most importantly, he believes that a tale from this Pearl Harbor Survivor could help, even if in some small way, so history won't repeat itself.Why did this horrific attack happen?Peter knows.He tells you in his book.
