Thanks for the reminder. Just finished reading In Harms Way- true story of the USS Indianapolis. Great read if you haven't had the pleasure. Ironically, the first public report about the Indy was released on the same day of surrender, so it was buried in a small article and got overlooked by many.

A healthy 17 you to kapperschtick and those with similar delusions. Read a damn history book instead of your social media all day.

A healthy Thank You to all who know the meaning of sacrifice and integrity. That society coming out of the great depression to win the War was the Greatest Generation. To me it's not even close.

In Hawaii for honeymoon. Toured Pearl Harbor, saw USS Arizona memorial - simple but impressive. USS Missouri was also amazing. Guide for the Missouri made it work the cost
