In 1998, David Payne and his wife returned to Pearl Harbor. The barracks he was living in then are still there, although the building is now the Repair Headquarters for Pacific Air Forces. The building suffered serious damage during the attack, but it has been restored. But careful effort was made to preserve evidence of what happened nearly 80 years ago.
"They left the bullets, the damage that the bullets did, they left that there. They never fixed it, Payne said.
Later, he was a police officer in the Panama Canal Zone and involved with the Berlin Airlift.
