was
born

went

the
road
with
some
friends
when
he
heard
about
the
Pearl
Harbor
attack
on the
car
radio
. At that
time
, he
didn't
know
anything
about
Hawaii
, but
found
out
quite
a
bit
after
he was
drafted
in
November
1942
and
served
until
August
1945
when
he was
discharged
as a
Staff
Sergeant
.
That�s
because
he
served
his
entire
hitch
after
basic
training
in the
Hawaiian
Islands

interview
starts
with a
fairly
detailed
discussion
of

'
training

stints
in the
motor
pool
and the
issue
point
at the
74th

material
confiscated
from
Japanese
and
Japanese
American
people
in the
islands
, and
guarded
Japanese
prisoners
of
war
on a
couple
different
occasions
.
Mr
.
Briggs
recalls
the
blackout
precautions
on the
islands
, and the
rumors
circulating
that the
Japanese
had
spies
there. The
interview
includes
descriptions
of
many
different
aspects
of
Mr
.
Briggs
'
experience
,
including
a
surprise
visit
to the
islands
from
President
Roosevelt
, and
several
incidents
that
Mr
.
Briggs
witnessed
at the
airfield
where
he was
stationed
. The
discussion
concludes
with a
description
of his
trip
back
to the
mainland
.

Bruning

the
interviewer
