New Discoveries - National Pledge of Allegiance Day and honoring the crew of the USS Grunion

It represents a United Republic...A Nation standing together as one; blessed by God, with it's beauty, resources and freedoms. We pledge our allegiance to the flag that represents a nation that stands up for liberty and justice for all mankind.

WWII was a war fought against injustice. After the U.S. entered the war in December of 1941, the USS Grunion and her crew was sent to defend our liberty and served our nation admirably. Her resting place was recently found, after 60 years, by the sons of the USS Grunion's Lt. Cmdr. Abele who, along with other sons and daughters of the brave crew, will be joining us.

The USS Grunion, a Navel war submarine sailed to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska in June of 1942 to combat the Japanese invasion on American soil. It was her first war patrol, and just 30 days into the mission, after sinking two Japanese patrol boats, antisubmarine activity was reported and the crew was ordered back to Dutch Harbor. They were never heard from again.

Join Mr. Wayne as he welcomes the children of these war heroes and how their legacy will carry on and we will continue to pledge allegiance to a flag that represents a country they sacrificed their life for.
