U.S. Army Private First Class Clifford McFarland, a survivor of the Hickam Field attack, converses with Col.

On Dec. 7, 1941, McFarland witnessed a Japanese aircraft maneuver around the church steeple, shoot at the barracks, and take out the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-18 Bolo aircraft on the flightline. He spent the remainder of the day transporting water to a machine gun being used to repel the attackers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Nathan Allen)
