Every year, I post about this to all my blogs on this date.
From Youngstown, Ohio, Pearl Harbor Survivor Profiles.
LEO J. ZAPPA
Was 22 at Pearl Harbor.. Died in 1993.
Born and raised in Farrell, Pennsylvania. Dropped out of Farrell High School in 11th grade to enlist the day after Hitler invaded Poland.
He was in the quartermaster company. Member of the VFW and the Idaho State Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.
Quote from his son: "Pearl Harbor was an unforgettable experience for my dad. Ironically, he was scheduled to ship out and be discharged from the Army on December 8. His buddies were even getting ready to have a party for him -- obviously that didn't happen."
So Sad to See Them Dying of Old Age Now.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
