Interesting enough Mike has his grandfather that served on the Missouri while at Pearl Harbor. He doesn't speak much about the ordeal,but he has said a few things. It seems the Saturday night before the Arizona came in the Missouri was parked where the Arizona went down. All the guys on the ship were excited because they caught the breeze off the ocean and cooled off all the rooms. Then a few hours later the Arizona came in EARLY and took their nice cool breeze. Unfortunately we all know that the Arizona was sank early the next morning. I just found that an interesting tidbit that I thought I would share. Mike's grandmother didn't know for several months if grandpa was dead or alive after Pearl Harbor cause they had to fix the ship to get it out on the waters. I can't imagine what this great couple went through during that time. When I think about it, It keeps me in check. God bless all those that serve,served and their familes.
