Visit Pearl Harbor

 

Recently my article about our visit to Pearl Harbor posted on the site, JohnnyJet.com. Thank you to Johnny Jet for sharing my post! It starts like this:

My father was born on December 11, 1941 while my grandfather had already joined the military. For my whole life I have heard how my father was born three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the triggering event of American involvement in World War II. The attack claimed the lives of over 2000 military and civilian personnel and damaged or destroyed 21 vessels and 170 planes. I had always wanted to visit this memorial, and as it says on the plaque it is “a place of reflection, which answers some questions and raises others, a journey to the past.”
