Saw this posted on the local paper's online site and thought it might be of interest to WWII history buffs, especially anyone living in the Midwest:
HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A memorial at Great Lakes National Cemetery will honor those who served at Pearl Harbor.
The Saginaw News reports the memorial is scheduled to be dedicated Saturday at the veterans' cemetery in Oakland County's Holly Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit.
John H. Wilberding served at Pearl Harbor and as state chairman of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association of Michigan. The 86-year-old from Shepherd says the memorial is "a memory for once upon a time."
Text on the memorial reads: "Dedicated to the men and women who served on that infamous day in Hawaii." The Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor thrust the United States into World War II.
