What are you waiting for?
Yesterday my son came to me and said he wanted to do something special for Memorial day. So I asked him what he wanted to do. He said to me let's go to the VA hospital and visit some of the vets there. As we walked through the doors there was an older guy and gal talking. After a few minutes he asked the man if he was a vet. The man replied Yes I am. I was in Pearl Harbor the day the Japs bombed us. He went on to say that was the best and worst day of his life. The worst because of all the devastation and friends killed and the best because it was also the day he met his wife. That wonderful lady sitting next to him They have been married 67 years. For 3 hours that sailor told him about Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, Pearl Harbor and Midway. No better history lesson could ever be taught than by the people who were there. Now you ask why is this special? This morning at 3am Master Chief Petty officer Johnathon Sullivan passed away in his sleep. he fought in 3 major wars and spent an afternoon with a 16 year old boy and his dad on Memorial day talking about why this day was so special. Oh yeah he had 3 ships shot out from under him. Uss West virgina (Pearl Harbor), USS Yorktown (Midway) and USS Princeton (Leyte Gulf)
