Two weeks ago my grandfather was inducted into the Military Hall of Fame in Oklahoma. Out of the approximate 350,000 veterans living in Oklahoma, he was one of 10 inducted this year.
On the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, Wake Island, where my grandfather was stationed, was also attacked. My grandfather was the pointer on the gun that sank the first Japanese ship of World War II. Unfortunately those on the island eventually surrendered to the Japanese. My grandfather was captured and spent four years as a Prisoner of War.
He is a true American Hero and I was so proud I was able to witness this historic night.
HERE are a few pictures from the evening.
