Right next door to the Arizona

I remember when I was a kid and my mom told me that my uncle Glenn (Reddick) was assigned to a ship that just happened to be moored right next to the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941.
At the time, when I was 9 years old, that really didn't matter much to me. Later on in life, and unfortunately after my uncle Glenn passed away, I realized what a significant part of history he and his shipmates would play. I never really got a good chance to talk with uncle Glenn, or my Marine uncle on my dad's side of the family.
My Uncle George (Dub) Gibson would take part in six different battles in the Pacific campaign. My dad always felt a little left out I think. He was stationed on a Navy frigate as a machine gunner, even though he was in the Army.
