Proud Grandpa

[mrmackc]

I wasn't sure when I saw the ceremony commemoration for Pearl Harbor day 75th anniversary this morning that my grandsons ship the USS Halsey was the lead ship,since I didn't see the number on the bow but in the evening news it was mentioned that the lead ship is the Halsey. I  saw the hull number 97 and knew that my grandson had duty today. He is a 21 year old E4 gas turbine tech.

Can't believe it's been 75 years since the attack.  Where is time going, now that I think about it?  15 years since 9/11,  27 years since Panama...  Damn, I'm getting old...

That is awesome MrMackc. Been there twice. It is always a deeply moving experience.

I have been there as well.  It is incredibly moving.

Him being on the lead ship is certainly an honor worthy of pride for you Mack.

I have been there more than one times.  My wife and I took wife's mother and my youngest daughter there for mother-in-law's 75th birthday and daughter's H.S. graduation.  Grandson's dad,our son, was a Marine stationed there at the time.
