The kids always get a full dose of WWII and the Greatest Generation from me on this day. Remember Pearl Harbor!From 1970-1997, true heaven on Earth existed on the banks of Bayou Cook. "Hey Dad, Thanks for buying the Camp."

My Dad enlisted at 29 after Pearl for the duration. One of his caps has all the names of islands like Taipei, Saipan, Guadalcanal, Pelelil, Iwo Gima, Marshal & Solomon Islands. He was a chief in charge of radar (new technology) on a liberty ship carrying troops. Those tubs had a couple of guns but were really sitting ducks. His three brothers were also in the Navy in the Pacific.
He really never talked about the war like most men who made it home."GET OFF MY REEF!"
