They Remember

Kitsap County has a large military presence, with many veterans who settled here after their time in service. Two months ago our local paper, the Kitsap Sun put out a request to the community for Pearl Harbor survivor’s to share their stories.

There was an excellent article in the paper today with some of the veteran’s stories, but their web page has actual interviews of twelve who are still living to enable them to tell their stories. I know watching interviews can be time consuming, but maybe you can watch one or two at a time and come back to watch more.

Thank you to all of our military who have served, or are presently serving.

Personally, I am so grateful to the Kitsap Sun for compiling these stories and sharing them with all of us. As the saying goes, “If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it”. Click on an interview and learn something today. I did!

It’s sad that the voices of war veterans often go unheard. It’s great that the Kitsap Sun decided to be an avenue for war veterans to share their story. Let’s listen. We can learn a lot from it.

History is comprised of real people, living real lives – and every life has a story. Thank you for this article. At one time those serving in our military were revered as the protectors of America and freedom. They still are even if the liberal media would have us believe otherwise.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and may the new year bring you many blessings.
