Fred Hamelrath calls Dec. 7, 1941, "the day I grew up." Nick Gaynos described the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that day as "hell on earth." Today is the 70th anniversary of what President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed as "a date which will live in infamy," and survivors Hamelrath, Gaynos and Charlie Imus still remember it vividly. "You don't forget it," said Hamelrath, who served in the Navy and lives in Hayden. "I had the good fortune of not having my ship sunk (the USS Tangier) under me, but I still remember all the casualties and damage. It was hard to accept and hard to believe at the time"/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
