You are always in our prayers. CA USA Arlie Nesbit was a career Navy man. He fought in WWII, and was escorting the USS Enterprise the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked. He went on to serve in the Korean War. And retired with multiple commendations and a purple heart.
Life is unpredictable, and yet so precious to all.
I am proud, that he served our country to protect so many lives, and to ensure freedom and justice throughout our world. From KP to tailgunning, to being responsible for the lives and conduct of not only his family but the men who served under him. Years later, as I watched him hold my own sweet baby on his knee, I felt honor in having my hero so close to my heart. In those silent moments I gained the respect I carry today for all the branches of the Armed Forces, and for my personal hero. Though he is now laid to rest.
