Mark Easton hasn't added a story.
My name is Mark Easton. I've worked to help WWII/ Veterans for several decades. Recently I met one of the few remaining Pearl Harbor survivors who's name is Milton Mapou. He was on the USS Detroit at Ford Island when the initial attack happened. Milt had first hand experience of the inital wave when he looked into a low flying Japanese pilot's eyes before he dropped his bomb and it skipped over the Detroit and hit an adjacent ship.
After being injured several times thoughout his 11 Pacific Theater Campaigns including (Solomon Islands, Empress Augusta Bay, Bougainille, Marianas, Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima and then Okinawa) he had the honor or watching the American flag being raised on Iwo Jima from his ship. He was also on the USS Pringle when it sank in Okinawa after being hit by a Kamakaze and was badly injured and swam to saftey.
Milton is now 93 years young and would like to go back once again for the first time in over 70 years for the 75th Anniversary this coming December.
The purpose of this email is to raise money to fund this trip for Milton including airfare, hotels and meals. All proceeds will go directly to Milton.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated to get this Great American Hero back to where he fought and lost many of his friends. I'm commited to getting this done for this very worthy veteran.
All donors of $25 or more will be sent a signed photo of Milton and video of his story.. Thanks again for your support..
