He and members of the 25th Infantry Division fired upon the aircraft from Schofield Barracks, but to no avail. Minutes later, Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona were destroyed.\n\nDecades later, in a chance meeting while cheering on the Cleveland Browns, John Seelie met Michael Cahill in a Florida bar. The two became instant friends, with Michael creating events for John to attend as a national hero.\n\nOn May 25, 2017, during his historic trip to Manhattan, John Seelie became the first Pearl Harbor veteran to visit the 9\/11 Museum in New York City. Events, speeches, and honor guards accompanied him throughout the visit.\n\nThis seventy-six year journey honors and remembers those who served before us, giving us the freedom we have today.\n\nThis is the story of his patriotism.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FYMFXGB8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FYMFXGB8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walsh, Mary|Cahill, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
