Pearl Harbor Honor Flight: One Last Goodbye
Multigenerational families shared the stories of the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, HI, with a Survivor at the book signing hosted by Hawsey’s Book Index. It is always heartwarming for our Pearl Harbor Survivors to have the opportunity to meet not only their peers from the World War II era but also young people who have taken an interest in the history of that war. The lessons they learn from these past events will make a difference in our future world.
The story of a community coming together to honor these National Treasurers is history in the making. One of our readers said, “Pearl Harbor Honor Flight: One Last Goodbye is a good example for other communities to follow. We have taken the time to say ‘Thank you for your sacrifices and your service.’ We are proud of our World War II heroes.”
Dinah Tronu, co-owner of Hawsey’s Book Index, is a great supporter of our military community. Dinah said, “The evening was filled with reflection for all of us; the day of the signing was truly a day of thanksgiving.” She is especially proud of her customers who have been coming to Hawsey’s since they were young and now are bringing their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Pearl Harbor Honor Flight: One Last Goodbye publisher, Nelson Ottenhausen, Patriot Media, Inc. and Sissy Nessamar
