Frank Emond, Pearl Harbor Survivor (Full Interview)

Born in Rhode Island, Frank Emond joined the U.S. Navy in 1938 in search of new opportunities. In December 1941, Frank was a french horn player in the U.S. Navy band aboard the battleship USS Pennsylvania. He was there on December 7, 1941, witnessing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the band played morning colors, Frank saw the first bomb drop and explode at a hangar on Ford Island. During and in the aftermath of the attack, he served as a stretcher bearer, carrying casualties to safety to allow for crews to fight the fires. Frank would stay in the Navy for 30 years, and he can still see the images from that morning, which have remained with him.
