On December 7,1941 a war started for the United States. My great grandpa was 19 years old. He didn’t know what was ahead in the future.

My great grandpa Terry fought for America. He was at Pearl Harbor when Japan bombed the United States. He was asleep when he heard a big BOOM! He immediately ran to the guns and was ready for fire. Then Japan dropped a bomb on his ship,and the bomb hit his back,but he is better now.

My great grandpa has tons of courage. He was only 19 years old when he went to Pearl Harbor. He left his family knowing that he might die. He also wanted to help our country.

My great grandpa is loving. He loved his country so much he was a teenager when he joined and was willing to die. He also loves his family and everyone. He wanted his family and everyone to have a good future and a great life.
Today my great grandpa has cancer,but I know that he will be my hero forever. He is and will always be a loving,caring,and kind man. He is my hero and America’s hero.
