As you know my uncle, my father’s youngest brother, died in the USS Arizona. It forever impacted relationships in his family. It was said I looked like him although he died before I was born. He was merely a draftee, a cook we think.

I have been to the Memorial and we took my father. Incredibly beautiful and well done. Astounding to think of the young men entombed within. I like to think this cook played a huge role in what was to come. The It was thousands of sacrifices that built up to WW2 and the defeat of fascism. I haven’t a clue what they are teaching these days. A lot of my education of these times I got in my own home. Pity the generations that have no idea of sacrifice or common good and history.
