This was an incredibly moving experience. We spend the day at Pearl Harbor and met this gentlemen. He was at Pearl Harbor on the Pennsylvania on the day of the attack. I read his moving story in a book and he was so wounded in the attack they moved him to a private ward to die because dying in front of your comrades was bad for moral. He is in his 90's in a wheel chair and comes to Pearl Harbor on the weekend to speak with visitors. I asked if I could take his picture and he said, only if you get in the picture with me. It was an honor to meet him.
