Updated Dec. 1, 2015

Mr. Robert Dorr is unable to appear December 7 due to illness.

Lieutenant Colonel Ruth Anderson, US Air Force (Ret), has graciously offered to speak about the Pearl Harbor attack on its anniversary, December 7, 2015, Pearl Harbor Day.

During her career as an Air Force officer, she served as commander of operational medical units at Hickam Air Force Base. While there she became interested in the attack on Pearl Harbor, especially the attack on Hickam Air Field.

Imagine the young girls stationed in Hawaii as nurses suddenly thrust into the fear of attack and the duty of dealing with the horror of combat casualties. The knowledge she has gained about the attack along with photographs and artifacts will be the subject of her speech.
