Marine Corps in the early’80’s, eight of us flying from California to Japan in our own C130 had to make an unscheduled landing on Wake Island. We spent three days diving off shore and touring the island. Sobering, for sure, to think of those who were there before us.I took my family to Gettysburg and hired a historian to ride with us on a guided tour. That was as equally emotional as seeing Pearl Harbor or Normandy. If you get a chance go see those as well. The two on my bucket list are Iwo Jima and Wake Island but I doubt I will ever make it there.
