I did some research and 3 firefighters from Honolulu were killed, and others injured on Dec. 7, 1941, during the Pearl Harbor Hawaii attack.
These firefighters = 2 Captains and 1 fireman are the only Nonmilitary or Nonnaval hero's ever to be awarded the "Purple Heart" for giving their lives during that enemy attack. Brother Vet's let us all honor our brother and sister veterans on Nov. 11, and at all times.
"If a man (Or women) has nothing they would give their life for then he (she) stands for nothing."
