Her ...My great aunt became a widow at Pearl Harbor. Her husband was a doctor and she was in Hawaii with him. That day, he went to Battleship Row during the attack to offer aid. My dad heard the radio of the attack on a ham radio when he finished his shift at a mine in Northern California. He enlisted, never went back to the mines, was wounded in Guam, and became an engineer on the GI Bill. I would love to see the Memorial. I love your writing, Barb.Ingrid Brileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239790012900285349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-14731298030379530212010-12-18T21:31:29.921-05:002010-12-18T21:31:29.921-05:00You did awesome Nana Barb.

I got into a discussion once with someone about this very same thing - Japanese tourists seeing the Pearl Harbor exhibit and how it made some people feel uncomfortable. The tourists could have been AMERICANS. And looks what we did to the Japanese Americans with the internments camps. I guess we all have to learn from our mistakes.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-78928558122490803632010-12-08T15:23:08.461-05:002010-12-08T15:23:08.461-05:00What a moving experience you have at the Pearl Har...What a moving experience you have at the Pearl Harbor.

My father, also a Navy man along with two of his brothers, was a veteran of both WW II and Korea. It so happens that my father's birthday is December 7th. Had he lived, he would be 85 tomorrow.Pam Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203330252729063288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-75314115027690958102010-12-05T22:47:04.441-05:002010-12-05T22:47:04.441-05:00Oh wow...
