In Memory of Art Hubbard, Sr. -RIP

[Bigunit]

My son's Great Grandfather / my ex-Grandfather-in-law passed away on Friday. He was 102. A great man and an American hero. He was a Marine and one of the WWII Navajo Code talkers who helped the US win the war. He was also a Arizona State Senator. I can say that I am proud to have met him. My son is even prouder of his Great Grandpa. He was the pillar of the family and he did his part to help make this a great country for all of us. Mr. Hubbard, rest in peace and may God rest your soul.

I have always thought the code talkers were really cool. I grew up in New Mexico right on the reservation. That's awesome you have him in your family.

Sorry for your sons loss and yours Luis. Really sucks. Really felt it last year with my aunt. Still struggle with it.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the kind words. Service is Tuesday in Phoenix. We are very close to losing all of our WWII Warriors. We can't ever forget what that generation of Americans did and sacrificed for our freedom. I want to believe that we would do the same today. How many of us will get to live to see 4 generations of our families. Arthur Hubbard did and he got to see and live what he and so many others his generation fought to preserve.
