Stokes: “Native Hawaiian Herb Weatherwax (L) was a 24-year-old Army private living in Honolulu when he heard loud explosions the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. He saw the USS Arizona enveloped in flames and the USS Oklahoma turned on its side as he headed to his post. Weatherwax, 98, and Navy veteran Al Rodrigues, 95, (R) tell their stories of witnessing the attack on Pearl Harbor. They are both lovely, funny and very sharp.”
