12th Annual World War Two & Pearl Harbor Dinner
The evening was such a special event. Over 150 people came to honor our WW2 veterans and the Pearl Harbor Survivors. It was such an honor to have six Pearl Harbor Survivors attend the dinner. We also had veterans of the European Campaign, the Pacific Campaign, and the Home Front. Every branch of service was represented that night as well. Many of our gentlemen wore their distinguished uniforms bedecked with ribbons and medals that were earned with sacrifice and honor. The food and music were the greatest we can remember for such an event.
Lee Grimes, founder & director of the Museum, gave a special presentation in honor of our veterans of World War Two. The presentation was entitled "Faces"
Lee recalled "As I look upon the faces of the World War Two generation here this evening, I look beyond what the advances of age have blest you with and I see young and vibrant faces of your younger years...These faces I see today are faces of honor, faces of pride, faces of sacrifice, faces of service, faces of Americas Greatest Generation..."
After the presentation we all joined in a chorus of "God Bless America." Everyone joined hands and sang with their might as tears of joy, tears of remembering and tears of honor streamed down our faces.
Here are some of those "Faces"
