Mr. Donald Grisham is a social studies teacher at the
University of Texas – University Charter School on the Waco campus. His class has been studying the events of
World War II. Recently he invited Mr.
J.C. Alston , a veteran of WWII and a survivor of Pearl Harbor, to speak to his
class.
“We read about these events in our history books and see the
images of war on video, but hearing the accounts from our surviving veterans is
the best references to our history. We
ask our veterans to speak to our students as a way of showing our respect and
honor to their service to our country,” explains Mr. Grisham.
Mr. Alston is ninety years old and now lives in Troy, Texas.
