Pte. Alex Horanzy

United States Army

from:Philadelphia, PA

Alex Horanzy was fast asleep that fateful Sunday morning 7th Dec. 1941. The Army private had just finished a week of combat training on the northern end of Oahu and slipped into bed at 2 a.m. at the Schofield Barracks. You could see the pilots very plainly right at the rooftops, doing their dirty work," said the 91-year-old Horanzy, who grew up in Manayunk and now lives in Northeast Philadelphia. "We gave them a hard time as they came over," firing M-1 rifles and other weapons. "I can't help thinking back to that time," he said. "It never goes away."
