We were in Pearl on the 60th anniversary of the attack, it is an amazing feeling of human sacrifice as you stand on the Arizona memorial and read of that day and the terrible loss.<br /><br />There are no 'winners' in war, just survivors and memories. I can easily see your mom 'tearing-up' when she talked of Marvin Lee.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-35812782213804975512016-12-08T10:23:51.403-06:002016-12-08T10:23:51.403-06:00wow.

I sympathize with your mother. Our family was crushed when my brother was killed in Viet Nam. He too was just a baby. Soldiers are far away from home and it seems as if they are alone even if there are other soldiers with them. Perhaps that is why it hurts all the more when they die. Conflicts happen but we don't have to like them. At the same time I am supremely grateful for all those who have kept our country free and safe.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-31332389825184981902016-12-07T21:22:46.308-06:002016-12-07T21:22:46.308-06:00Senseless, and yet we keep having them.

I kept looking at his photo and then realized why he seems familiar. He looks like one of our Docs at the hospital. They could be brothers. Thanks for the reminder of this historic day.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.com
