This is Ron Marcello interviewing Jose Perez for the
North Texas State University Oral History Collection.
The interview is taking place on July 8, 1978, in Corpus
Christi, Texas. I'm interviewing Mr. Perez in order
to get his reminiscences and experiences and impressions
while he was stationed at Camp Malakole during the
Japanese attack there and at Pearl Harbor and the sur-
rounding military installations on December 7, 1941.

Well, at that time, things were pretty rough over here
