Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
A fine man of exemplary character, remarkable intelligence, and strong discipline. Loved and highly respected by all those that knew him. Following in the footsteps of his father, he served his country honorably. Was present at and survived the bombing of Pearl Harbor. To the heartbreak of all the loved and knew him, Herbert died in a military accident while stationed on New Caledonia Island in the South Pacific in December of 1942. Regarding Herbert, my dear granduncle, I recall many warm memories shared to me by his sister, my grandmother, and my mother, his niece. Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and legacy.
