    Yes, my father was at a football game in the Polo Grounds (or Yankee Stadium) on December 7, 1941, and he said they kept making announcements for various service members to report to their bases. He got his mother to sign so he could enlist, as he was only 17 at the time.

      Jeff, my Dad enlisted in the Navy and served on a destroyer–the U.S.S. Kidd–and was injured when a Japanese kamikaze plane hit his ship. My brother has my Dad’s Purple Heart.
