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. |

My dad was on the USS Maddox in WW II and recalled for Korea. During the Korean conflict they were at battle stations for 43 days continuously, a record for the navy. He came back with what we now call PTSD. He never talked about it and the little I've found out came from reading online. One of my deepest regrets is disagreeing over Vietnam with him. I think my antiwar position hurt him deeply. Time and experience have taught me that somethings that seemed so clear and simple in youth are a lot more complicated than they first appeared.
The fact that my dad sacrificed years of his life and suffered so that I could have the right to disagree with a policy put forth by the government he fought to defend haunts me to this day. In all of our conversations he always said "You are an American, you have the right to disagree." The greatest generation is certainly true. Dave |
