President Roosevelt was right to call it a date that will live in infamy.’ But for my fellow survivors and me, it is also alive in memory, like shrapnel left embedded in our brains because the surgeon thought it too dangerous to operate. These memories lie within me, forever still and silent, like the men entombed in the Arizona.
