The Wake 98: RIP
October 7, 2013, marks the seventieth anniversary of a day that lives in infamy for the Wake Family. Today we honor the nearly one hundred American civilians who were cut down in cold blood on the north beach of Wake Island at the hands of their Japanese captors. They were young and old, married and single. Some men had large families and deep roots; others were vagabond workers with deliberately shallow roots. None deserved to die the way they did.
Rest in peace, Wake 98.
