Pearl Harbor75th for Ed Hamilton

This is my Dad - Ed Hamilton a World War ll vet from South Boston.  Our community has asked me to set up  Go Fund me Page to so that they can donate to help defray the costs of his going to Hawaii to attend the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.  Ed has a story to tell and he has been speaking to high schools and community groups for the last few years so that NO ONE will forget Pearl Harbor and the war he fought.  Although not a Pearl Harbor Survivor Ed fought in 9 majpor battles including his ship being hit by a Japanese bomb and a kamikaze landing.  Recently he used his own funds and flew to New Orleans to donate a flag that flew on his ship the USS Bennett DD-473.  That flag survived the bomb and kamikaze attack at the Battles of Okinawa and Iwo Jima.  While in Hawaii this year he will be speaking at an elementary school sharing his history.

I am NOT asking for a lot of money - just some to help defray HIS costs - 


With that said I am THANKING the South Boston community and the South Boston community at large who have embraced my Dad and a true American Hero

Because of him and other veterans we have our freedoms
