YONKERS PROUD: Even after they are gone, veterans of Pearl Harbor remembered

YONKERS HISTORY: December 7th “A Date Which Will Live In Infamy”

PEARL HARBOR: Hy Seiden was still a young man, stationed in tropical paradise and dozing on his U.S. Army-issued cot on a beautiful December morning when exploding bombs shook the ground beneath him.

The screaming whine of Japanese dive bombers, the fearsome thunder of enemy Zeros strafing scattering servicemen, pushed Yonkers, N.Y. native Hy Seiden to his feet and out of his tent at Fort Kamehameha, an Army base adjacent to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Breakfast would have to wait. It was Dec. 7, 1941, and the world was about to change forever.

He found a jeep somewhere, drove to the armory and shot the lock off. The experience colored much of Hy Seiden’s life after the war.

The attack on Pearl “should be remembered so that the generations that are growing up now know that freedom is not free,” Hy Seiden once said said at a veteran’s event.

“Freedom has a price that has to be paid, and many of the soldiers who protected that freedom paid the ultimate price.” 
American Patriot Hy Seiden died in 2011 at age 96
