The program arranges trips to the museum for World War II veterans and their guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eskenazi was a private first class in the Army when the attack occurred. His memories include being awakened when a bomb fell \u2014 but didn\u2019t explode \u2014 near where he was sleeping at Schofield Barracks, reverberating explosions as the battleship USS Arizona was sunk by Japanese bombs, and machine gun fire from enemy planes kicking up dust around him after he volunteered to drive a bulldozer across a field so it could be used to clear runways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t even know why \u2014 my hand just went up when they asked for volunteers,\u201d Eskenazi said. \u201cNobody else raised their hand because they knew that it meant death. &#8230; I did it unconsciously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was at the Army\u2019s Schofield Barracks when the Dec. 7, 1941, attack began, bringing the United States into the war. About 2,400 servicemen were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eskenazi and his fellow veterans lined up for pictures amid exhibits of World War II aircraft and Higgins boats, designed for beach landings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you guys for providing us a country that was worth fighting for,\u201d veteran Billy Hall, a who rose to the rank of major in the Marines after enlisting in 1941, shouted to well-wishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum opened in 2000 as the National D-Day Museum and has expanded in size and scope since then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joseph Eskenazi marked his upcoming 105th birthday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":106414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":19,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,10,12,25,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3209],"class_list":["post-67158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-military-honor","category-news","category-newsletters","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"2YUX74OAV5ENVBFG7AJXPA4UOM","arc_canonical_url":"\/veterans\/2023\/01\/11\/oldest-living-pearl-harbor-survivor-marks-105th-birthday\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
