Before coming back we visited my wife’s 100-y-o uncle who was on a destroyer in Pearl harbor when it was bombed. His was the only destroyer to clear the harbor during the attack.

Very cool! What amazing things he must have seen throughout his life. And he is a true hero.

He had just come back from 8 days in the hospital so I don’t think he’ll be telling his stories much longer.

God bless him. 🙏

I could tell you what I did during the war but it was pretty boring.

Eat, sleep, ... cry.
