Frank Arellano
By Veronica Sainz
In the early morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941, 22-year-old Frank Arellano had just gone down for breakfast at Schoffield Barracks, on the Hawiian Island of Oahu, when he heard the sound of machine guns firing. He looked up and saw a group of planes diving to the left.
"I could see the red rising sun on them and I noticed their wheels were down," Arrellano said in an interview last fall.
