While I was in Oahu I visited the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. My dad was in WWII and so I have a fascination of all things from that era. It still strikes me as odd that someone I knew so well was in such a momumental historical event. Hearing his stories was especially fulfilling. My pop, a very young pop, was in a HUGE war. And lived! My two uncles, his brothers, were also in the same war but in different arenas. Uncle Harold was in Italy and North Africa with the Army and Uncle Alan was with the Army Corp of Engineers in the Pacific.

Nonetheless, I frequently cruise around reading WWII sites. I was pleased to see this story over at Damn Interesting, one of my favorite blogs/sites. I thought it was nicely written and therefore, you get to read it too!

Everyone say yay!
