Thursday
"It sure was a beautiful day. Spring is here and summer is not far off. It's so clear out, you can see across the river, which is like a sea of glass, to New London, where everything looks quiet and peaceful.
This morning we had our weekly test and I did lousy. I'm sure disgusted with myself. I just did not stay on the ball this week, that's all. That just goes to show you, darn it. I'm learning the hard way I guess.
This afternoon we had a lecture on drafts and such. In the theater had movies on Pearl Harbor. They were the normal photograph. That was a stab in the back for the U.S. and especially for these men that were there. They didn't have half a chance.
Went to the show after chow and saw, "Ladies Courageous, " about the W.A.F.S.
Got two letters from Sweet. I wrote to her, washed and hit the sack."
Later my dad reacted strongly to the movie "Pearl Harbor. I took him and my mom to see it when it was first made. He also saw it on TV in his room at the assisted care home. He told me both times how the movie upset him.
