My thanks to all, living or deceased then or now, who served, lived or died in Pearl Harbor.

My thoughts turn to my Dad, long gone, and those who allowed each of us to be what we are.

Thanks to all who served to keep us safe. My dad was in the Navy during WWII, his ship was on it's way to Pearl Harbor, along with their sister ship, my dads ship survived an attack but their sister ship didn't. My dad said that he lost some good friends.

It's funny, as time went on, I would ask my dad questions about the war, but he never really wanted to talk about it. All he would say was "I did what I had to do". He was a very proud man.

My father was a CB and help build the burma road. He would never really talk about any of his time there. When asked all he would say is he hopes I never see what he seen. He has been gone for 20 yrs now, but I wear his wedding band and have carried one of his dog tags on my key chain since I was sixteen. Just my way of keeping him with me.

RIP
