76 Years After Pearl Harbor, Navy Awards New Medals for Battle Heroism
Today is Pearl Harbor Day

When I was stationed in Hawaii 1985-1989 I could see Pear Harbor and the Arizona Memorial from the front balcony of my condo that was built way up on one of the ridges.

I’ve heard my Dad talk about this day many times. He was an engineering student at UT and joined the Navy (sorry, Ranger, my rooting interest will differ from yours this week) at graduation. He spent time at Pearl on his way to Maloelap Atoll in the Marshall Islands where they were taking the final surrenders of Japanese air bases there. He was very moved by what he saw at Pearl.

Got my Schofield Barracks shirt on this morning. When my son in law and daughter
were stationed there, they were very moved by the visits to the Memorial.
