It will, of course, be all over the news today.  63 years ago, Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese, bringing the United States into World War II.

My grandfather and his two brothers were in Pearl Harbor when it was bombed.  They served in the Pacific fleet.

One of my great-uncles, my grandfather’s youngest brother, was killed in the bombing.

My family went to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial 12 years ago.  As we looked through the exhibits, we saw mention of our family name.  We was remnants of our history in those annals.

Today, I dedicated my blog to the men and women who gave their lives in that battle.

I dedicate it to my Grandpa Rusty who was one of the most amazing men I’ve ever known.

I love you, Grandpa.  Rest in Peace.
