I was browsing some of my usual sites with my 11 year old Grand sitting next me and I have to say that I'm impressed with the home schooling he has gotten so far. I was surprised at quite a few things that he knew about and a few that I was really surprised about. I was on Facebook awhile ago and saw a picture of a group of snow men that somebody had done that was made to look like the images of the flag raising that happened on Iwo Jima in World War II. When I clicked on the photo he said "that looks like the picture of the flag raising on Iwo Jima".
Today commemorates the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.
Today also commemorates the day my perfect woman and I got married. She picked the date but since I was career Navy, it isn't likely I would ever forget that date.
Happy anniversary Mike and Teresa!
A lot of us older folks won't forget that date even though it was 15 years before I was born. I don't know that the schools talk much about the wars any more and few kids today know anyone who was in WWII.
I happened to be on Amazon placing an order and a commercial came on TV about the last season of Game of Thrones is now available for purchase so I added it to the order.
Our company left this afternoon after dinner. Tom and the boys had spent a lot of time with the pup and when they walked out to get in their car, Solas walked up the hill with them so I guess things worked out.
December 7 is also my older brother's birthday. I miss him.
My Dad was a WW2 veteran, he joined the navy for 8 years and was in WW2 from before Pearl Harbor until after the war ended. He was in the battle of Guadalcanal. His ship went down in the battle, I don't know which one. I have a picture of him on the ship Lexington that I found after my Mother died.
Happy Anniversary to you and Teresa. Y'all are perfect for each other.
Guadalcanal was about as bad as it gets. I got to ride Lexington several times doing their training. It was a big ship when it was built but it seemed so small compared to the Nimitz class ships that I sailed on.
