December 7, 1941 Remember what happened.
An unrelated story: My Dad and Uncle were going with their future wives at time of WWII. Uncle Bill RIP was a marine, Dad was Army. They were both from up here in the N end of Idaho. "Eventually" THEY BOTH ENDED UP on Okinawa!!! Somehow my Uncle learned Dad was on the Island, and one "day off" he walked to Dad's unit to say hi. My uncle talked little of that. He did not land there in the initial landing, but did get there "soon enough" to see some serious fighting. Dad ended up in a supply co. later on
My uncle, young. This photo looks EXACTLY like two of his sons at about the same age
From obituary:
"He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp in December of 1943 where he served in the pacific theatre; at Guadalcanal, Guam, Okinawa, Japan and China. He returned home in April of 1946 and in June of that year married his high school sweetheart"
