I'm inviting everyone on this solemn day (sorry if you've seen this invite on multiple threads!)to take a look at my son's Eagle Scout project, a 50-minute documentary on USS Arizona survivor and bomber pilot Lou Conter. Over 500 copies have been distributed to schools, military and civilian officials, civic and veterans groups, etc. nationwide, and now its available ad-free on You Tube. It's a great story of an American hero, and includes footage we gathered at last year's 75'th anniversary observances. If the link below doesn't work, you can get the link at witnesstoinfamy.com USS Arizona Survivor Documentary< /a>

Congratulations on your son’s Eagle Scout project. I will go check it out on You Tube.

It’s quite well done. Congratulations to your son who is helping to educate the public on Pearl Harbor so it is not forgotten.

My mother was saying how at the time Hawaii was not even a state as yet and when she was told by her father what happened said, ‘where’s Hawaii?’ and I asked her why she didn’t know where Hawaii was (so well known to us today). But back then it was not as well known not being a state yet and the base there had no bomber planes, were just attacked and were helpless.

Terrible tragedy and a lesson to us all now, as before this Obama felt it okay to decrease the military making us very vulnerable to other attacks like that one.

Let’s not forget, even if we did not live during that period.

Just this morning, I sent funds (and the precise lettering) for two commemoratory bricks to be installed at the WWII Memorial at New Orleans.

One was in the name of my Dad, who flew PBY-5s in and around Sepik River, New Guinea, and Rabaul Island in the SW-Pacific. Fully engaged mentally, he died in 2014 at the age of 97.

The other engraved brick was for my Dad's co-pilot, Lou Conter!

Was your son the executive producer? And he’s an Eagle Scout? Does he plan on making this a career? Tell him this old Navy Seabee said “Thank you and well done?*

I’m sure you’re a very proud parent. You have every right to be
