Pearl Harbor today as we looked back from the Arizona Memorial's ferry to the permanently moored U.S.S. Missouri.
The consequent War Effort as Memorialized at the Nevada State Museum which was formerly the Carson City Mint:
In one way or another each of us, through our individual legacies, have been impacted by the aftermath of that December 7th day of 1941 which as stated in the words of the then President, "lives in infamy." Like many others, my own father in his personal history described the impact of that day on his decision to defend his Country.
He wrote, "After Pearl Harbor Day, I decided that i would prefer to serve my country in the Navy." At the time he lived on a ranch near Elko, Nevada. He enlisted in the Navy in Salt Lake City. It was during his service that he met my mother at church in Chicago where he was spending nine months in aviation metalsmith school which was located on Chicago's Navy Pier.
I, my siblings, and our progeny would not be here today but for Pearl Harbor.
