<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1192542, member: 16948&quot;]I personally am deeply grateful for and thankful to and would like to honor all of our service men and women for their dedication to keeping our country safe.&nbsp; I would also personally like to honor my dad Edward Waszkiewicz (born in 1921) who is turning 90 tomorrow and served in the Navy from 1939-1969.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My dad is also a Pearl Harbor Survivor.&nbsp; At the time of the attack, my dad was 20 and was working as a fireman standing by with hose and water while the ships were being refueled. His story is recounted in Walter Lord&#039;s book &quot;Day of Infamy.&quot;</p><p>pg. 139: &quot;Seaman Ed Waszkiewicz watched from the Ford Island seaplane ramp, nearly half a mile across the bay. At this distance, he knew he was at least safe - until he looked up at the sky. One of the Shaw&#039;s five-inch shells was tumbling end over end, arching directly at him. He dived behind a fire truck as the shell hit the concrete ramp several feet away. It didn&#039;t explode, merely bounced a hundred yards along the ramp and changed into one of the hangars.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So please post a coin dated &quot;90&quot; or a coin from 1921 or a coin with a military theme to help commemorate Memorial Day and my dad!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/4-17-10/Images/9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/4-21-11/Images/55.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/6-8-10/Images/8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
