Bullet Holes at Pearl Harbor Still Exist

[@SurfingOstrich]

I went a couple years back and they had a veteran sitting in the middle of that hanger at a table. No one seemed to want to talk to him so my bro and I went up to him and asked him some things. Turns out he was in that hanger on the day of the attack so those bullet holes were a sobering reminder of how close to death he got that day. ALWAYS MAKE TIME TO TALK TO WW2 VETS

[@j1st633]

Indeed. I was the CEO at a veterans nursing home. There were several WW 2 residents. What stories, what experiences. They were alwAys glad to share.

[@jamiewilson3668]

I met a survivor at that hangar as well - may have been the same gentleman - back in 2015. Mr. Dick Girocco who was a flight engineer on a PBY Catalina. Amazing stories he could tell from that day. He has since passed. I consider myself fortunate and honored to have spent some time with him.

My family and I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial back in 2018. It was an honor for us to visit. The most emotional part of the memorial is that the USS Arizona is a permanent tomb, veterans who had served on that ship have the option of interring their urns. According to the tour guide when the scuba divers put the urns into the ship, the urns automatically fit into place. Telling the families that the sailors have returned to be with their fellow sailors and have returned to service. Truly remarkable.

My father, Joseph William PAYTON Sr. was a survivor not just of Pearl Harbor, but a previous night survivor of a B-17 practice run that ran out of fuel. He was also in The Hickam Field mess hall when the bombs came through. He then spent the next 3-1/2 years fighting in Japanese Air combat as a bombardier-waist gunner. He produced some legacy. My brother Joseph William Payton Jr. whom I lost last 8/4/22 to COVID was a USAF Staff Master Seargent, his son, my namesake, was a USAF Captain. His son will soon be a USAF 1st. Lt. After ROTC. My Dad would be so proud, I miss him, but I do not miss his PTSD suffering. That decent man was so tormented. RIP DAD.

[@loose-arrow-garage]

As a retired USAF veteran, while serving, I visited Hickam AFB on three occasions for temporary (TDY) duty. There are several buildings on the base that were standing during the attack. Although they have been renovated there are numerous pock marks from the aircraft's guns on the exterior walls that were never repaired. They serve as a constant reminder of that day!

[@50buttfish]

Visited Hickam in 93; rode my bike to the Passenger Terminal, and every day took a different route, to see all the history. YES, the hangars had scars still.

[@Frazzzld]

I love the fact that you showed us something a little different then the tour of the ships. That museum was pretty cool. My dad was born and raised on the Island of Kauai. He was 5 years old when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. He remembered certain aspects of it like having to live in black out conditions for almost 5 years. Also, hearing the military shells going over the island. My grandpa got stationed/posted at one of their food bank type of areas to help protect the food supplies. My Dad came to California and stayed when he was 21 years old.

[@_UnclePatriot]

Thank You for sharing this! This means a lot to me personally. I was raised by my Grandpa who was there on December 7th. I used to get jolted awake from sleep when he would have his nightmares. Having been in combat myself I can truly understand what he was going through those many years ago. He took me up for my first flight when I was 3 years old. I miss that man dearly! Rip Paw Paw.

[@MagnumMike44]

I've been at that museum and I saw those historic planes. Every time I see a B-17 I often can't help but appreciate the guys who operated them because they flew at high altitudes without pressurization.

[@g.k.1669]

My uncle got discharged from the air force due to severe frostbite on a bombing mission when the environmental heat supply for his flight suit got shot up over Africa.

[@arandomsystemglitch2398]

Not only that they had to use pure strength to pull the plane up and down cause there was no electric stuff to help move those flaps up and down and those bottom ball gunners were pretty much set up to die there wasn't much room to move around in the bottom ball turrets and it was cramped in them so any shot hit on them might of always been a fatal shot

[@markmartello]

When I was stationed on a Submarine out of Pearl Harbor back the mid 1980's the Navy let us store our personally owned automobiles in those hangers when we went on deployment. It was nice to have a place to store our cars, but it's great to see the hangers being used to educate the public about the history of Pearl Harbor.

A note on the bullet holes, a few theory’s from a tour guide I was with, it was either Japanese bullet holes or on that evening of December 7th, a flight of wildcats came in to land on the island, and trigger happy ground crew opened fire on them since the bullet holes were roughly the size of a 50 caliber. Also, the stearman you saw was actually flown by president bush.

Watching this video suddenly gave me the goosebumps. Especially the where you showed the airstrip that was completely destroyed. As well as the hangar that has bullet holes in the glass windows. But seeing the F-14 tomcat inside the hangar suddenly makes think about the movie The Final Countdown. As well as what the tomcat wasn't decommissioned from service. The P-40 warhawk was definitely an awesome plane. It is the hero of Pearl Harbor since a pair of it took down six A6M zeros after the attacked. Overall I hope that I can get to visit Pearl Harbor someday.

The Island is vast in history that needs to be preserved. I had hopes the runway would still be active to private pilots as a tourist attraction and charge a small fee to be put into use to maintain the runway. I like to see more of a extension of the State Park in preserving Ford Island and its building . I was glad to see the Tower repainted. I was told it has LOTS of bullet holes in it.

Both the F-15 and F-16 are still in service today, and yes, the F-16's name is Fighting Falcon.

I was stationed at Alpha Docks Pearl Harbor along the fence line with Hickam back in '71 & '72..... I used to walk along the hangers and look at all the damage still visible from just 30 years before........ I was with a dive unit ( HCU-1 ) that got to do some harbor clean up of the old ships sunk in West Lock...lots of interesting scrap we dove on....... back then the hills around Pearl were still sugar cane fields......... now it is all houses.... how the Island has changed.
