Let me share this piece with you guys as December 7th winds down here in paradise.

Growing up here we'd always bring visiting friends and family to the Arizona Memorial. One of the individuals I remember from my childhood was Mr. Fiske, a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was a LONGTIME volunteer there, and he'd always remind us -- "NEVER FORGET." See, he knew he wasn't going to live forever, and he was afraid that people would forget.

Mr. Fiske died about 3 years ago, and I remember the first commemoration ceremony without him just wasn't the same. He was the voice of the Arizona Memorial.

I still remember the stories he told me when I was a kid. And rest assured that I'll be making sure that we all remember December 7th.

I just saw his interview on TV and did not realize that he had passed.

Thank you for point this out and it is nice that you had the chance to meet him.

He did not consider himself as a hero, but He truely was no matter what!
