Bradley beam., 1945-02-17

Sunday, ' December 1941, was the dawn Of a peaceful, quiet day of rest for the garrison stationed at Pearl Harbor, or so the men thought. M/Sgt. c. M. Westhaver, now Base Sergeant Major at: this station, was at Pearl Harbor that fatal morning and here is his description of what happened as he saw it.
 "I was awakened by a loud ex- plosion and thought one of our planes had crashed. Clad only in a pair of shorts, 1 ran outside my tent to see just what had occurred. Just as I hit the open air another explosion reached my ears and l heard the steady drone of aircraft overhead. Looking up, I managed to sight the planes and then, as they drew closer, saw the Jap insignia. By that time many of us realized what was happening and took shelter in the concrete cellar of the NCO Club".
 The Sergeant's Squadron had been alerted for a trip to the Philippines and was bivouacked be- tween the two hangars. Naturally they caught hell from the attack ing Japs. "West", himself, carries a few scars on his legs from shrapnel wounds inflicted that peaceful" morning. He saw one of the men grab a 30 caliber airplane machine gun to fire at the Japs and also saw a guard and a garrison prisoner open fire on the invaders from the top of the Guard House. The latter team is credited with a possible hit as one of the enemy planes was seen in flames after

A rare treat was afforded Brad ley Field civilians Wednesday afternoon at a mass meeting held in the Base gym. c. H. Berry, the genial master of ceremonies, twel- comed the group and recordings by the Bradley Band were played. After the National Anthem, MT. Berry announced that Col. H. E. Johnson, Base Commander, would make the awards of merit to all those individuals who, having com pleted six months of satisfactory service, were eligible.
 It. E. A. Kjorlie was next intro duced by MT. Berry-he called him the MT. Anthony of Civilian Per sonnel. It. Kjorlie spoke briefly concerning the suggestions offered by nine members of the various de- partments, suggestions born of Yankee ingenuity. All of these in- ventions have been created with the purpose of getting more work done in shorter time and more efficient ly.
