Re: December 7...let us not forget

The Japanese war effort shaped my family. Invasion of the Philippines saw my Grandparents and my Father (who were living in Manila at the time), taken prisoner and held as such until MacArthur and the Cav liberated them. It was this experience and subsequent loss of my Grandfather 8 days after liberation, that drove my father to pursue his calling as an Officer in the US Army. West Point Class of 1958. Met Mom while there...etc...

The war in the pacific, Starting officially with this day was the beginning of my immediate family history.

This day will never be forgotten here..Nor by my kids or anyone else within ear shot...
