Cemetery of the Pacific

Bryan came home from Hawaii yesterday. One of the things he saw was the Cemetery of the Pacific. Intombed there are people who fought and lost their lives in the Pacific Theater, druing WWII. They also have cement walls with the names of other service members who lost their lives in the Pacific Conflict. One of the names was my Uncle Kenneth.He is my Mom's older brother. He joined the Navy after being declared an F4. He had a hernia and had that fixed so he could be with his friends. He served on a Minesweeper, The USS Emmons. He was a Machinest Mate 3C. He was Killed In Action, when a Japanese Suicide Plane flew into the vessel. All crew members were lost at sea. That was 64 years ago. My Mom was so excited that Bryan got to be the first family member to go see his name on this cement wall. I hope that we can all go as a family while we are still here in AK, to go see this. It would be a nice feeling as his niece to be able to see his name and give him the honor he so deserves for giving his life for our great country. I would love for the boys to go see all the history that is there and to know that their Pa and Uncles were in the same places fighting for our country. Brett is very into all the World Wars. He loves learning about it and what better place for him to go and see than Pearl Harbor.
