Meet Another Survivor – Peggy Unger

Margaret (Peggy) Unger, one of the child survivors of Pearl Harbor, has very generously pledged $1,000 at Kickstarter to Children of Pearl – a fantastic show of support. Margaret also shared some of her story with us, including an account of how her bathrobe was used for bandaging in the aftermath of the attack: “My sister and I had been wearing seersucker night gowns and robes when the bombing began and we had given up our robes at the shelter, to be used as bandaging.  It was dreadful to leave, after the second wave of bombing ceased, to see and step over strips of our robes, stained with oil, blood and serum from those terrible wounds I’d seen.”

Peggy went on to a career as nurse, helping others through her life, thanks to her part in the “Day Of Infamy”.

And Peggy has been with our campaign from the beginning, as part of our Facebook and blog badge (she’s in the left of the photo). Thank you so much, Peggy!
