In Pearl Harbor Warriors, eleven-year-old Jennifer receives a jewelry box from her grandmother. It holds a mysterious pin that looks very old. It is a “Remember Pearl Harbor” pin, with a real pearl replacing the word “Pearl.”
In an exchange of letters with her grandmother, Jennifer learns the story of the pin. She also learns that at one time, the phrase “Remember Pearl Harbor” reminded the Americans to hate the Japanese. Not before, nor since, have the American people been so united.
This DVD introduces you to Marine Sgt. Richard Fiskeʻs service in WWII and his struggle to overcome his war wounds. Japanese Lt. Zenji Abe also was dealing with traumatic war experiences. The two meet at a Pearl Harbor ceremony and begin a friendship of healing and forgiveness. The DVD closes with the two men on board the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor with a Red Roses Ceremony and Richardʻs bugle playing taps. The story earned a Notable DVD Award.
