Message from Jack Heyn, December 7, 2000

Fifty nine years ago today a Japanese air armada paid an uninvited call on Pearl Harbour. That started a 44 months struggle that cost us billions of dollars; and snuffed out the lives of tens of thousands of young lives. They would never live to marry a beautiful young lady, raise a beautiful family and celebrate a 55th anniversary. May they Rest In Peace.

The photo attatched was taken at the Punch Bowl Nat'l. Cemetary in Holalulu on our 50th wedding anniversary. They have large detail maps of all the major Pacific War Campaigns. Our son-in-law took this one of my Jonnie and I standing by the map of the New Guinea campaign, where I spent 2 years of my youth.
