Tombstone Tuesday
The Columbarian Wall in the Prescott National Cemetery where my father, Rex Hoover, Sr., is interred. He was in the U.S. Navy during WWII on the ship the U.S.S. Helena - in 7 major sea battles in the Pacific arena.
My father was also at Pearl Harbor, on the Helena, on December 7, 1941.
Thought I would post this on such an historic day (the inauguration of Barack Obama) as my father was one of "The Greatest Generations" and I have hope that his great-grandchildren will take up the torch and become another "Great Generation".
