Greetings, This is the first time that I have posted on the Holt list. I enjoy reading it. I want to take this opportunity to write that on June 16, 1941, we dropped my brother Bill Holt off, waved good by to him and that was the last time that we saw him a live. He was at Pearl Harbor during the attack by the Japanese on Dec. 7th. In the Coral Sea 1943 he became ill with tuberculosis, was transferred to Australia, then to California and eventually to Walla Walla, WA where he died in 1945. This ship, the USS Phoenix was sold to Argentina in 1951 and was sunk by the British in 1982 during the Falkland Island War. I have become good friends with a man who was on the Phoenix/Belgrano when it was sunk. I have become acquainted with a British veteran who was on the submarine that sank the Belgrano. And then five years ago I went to Japan to meet two aviators who participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor. All these men, one way or another, have become "Brothers of War" which is the title of a book I have recently published. The British veteran went to Argentina to spend eight days with the Argentine veteran. When I went to Japan I shook hands with the two Japanese veterans of the Pearl Harbor attack. We all are truly "Brothers of War." If you want to know more, please check out LewHolt.com Thank you.
