I looked down at my left arm to only see half it there wrapped in a big white bandage. Without even realizing it I started to cry. Not knowing why this had to happen. Wondering to myself why me, why today. Minutes later the captain of the USS Pennsylvania H. B. Wilson approached me. He told me that 1,177 of my men died yesterday and that the USS Arizona got hit four different times by Japanese bombers. My heart was broken, but that could have been me. If I had not forgot my hat I would have been on that ship and would be one of those men at the bottom in the ship right now. I am grateful that I am still alive even if it is with one and a half arms
