PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (NNS) -- Fifty-two of the 81 living Medal of Honor recipients gather at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl), Oct. 3 for a ceremony to dedicate a memorial stone.
The stone is dedicated to the men and woman that have received the Medal of Honor. The stone will later be placed on the cemetery's memorial walk.
"Well that's a very prominent spot, so I think it's a recognition of their special service," Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Tom Kelley said.
To the people that received the Medal of Honor the stone represents the struggles of war and the bravery of the service members that served the country.
"(The stone) I know what it represents, and to me that's the most important thing," Medal of Honor recipient Hiroshi Miyanura said. "It's quite an honor to have people recognize the Medal of Honor for what it is."
For the active duty service members that attended the service it gave them a chance to honor those members that have come before them and it reminds them why they joined.
"This is just a subtle reminder for me of why I joined the military, and what it is I am fighting for," said Marine Cpl. Kyle Cummings, with Combat Logistics Battalion 3.
Thirty-two people that are buried in Punchbowl are Medal of Honor recipients.
The Medal of Honor is the United States of America's highest military honor, awarded for acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I'll set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start

I've just been in the mind of a genius.
Cornwallis knows more about warfare than we could learn in a dozen lifetimes.
That's cheerful news.
His victories at Camden and Charles Town were perfect. Perfect.
And he knows it, what's more.
Perhaps that's his weakness.
Sir?

I kept notes of my thoughts last night, but I am conflicted. It was around midnight when the a strong feeling came over me telling me that all my memories are true. My first thought was that if they can manipulate my mind to even have that thought, then who knows what is true. An hour or so later, I thought about the question: which ones? Which memories are true?
The only reason it really matters in the context of this conversation with who know who, is that I don't want to mention names of people in my life. They are people that, as far I as know, aren't accustomed to media coverage and I don't want to throw them to the wolves, so to speak, without at least asking their permission first, and advising them on what they might be getting in to. It's not that all the people in the media are wolves, it's just that the media, specifically media exposure, can have that kind of effect. Interacting with the media, I assume, can be not unlike interacting with Microsoft.
So anyway, this whole train of thought began with one thought. It may have been an image that presented itself into my mind. I had this strange feeling that Homer Burgess and Ronald Reagan had a similar appearance. In my conscious memory, Homer was my father's uncle. My maternal grandmother later remarried and Homer was her second husband, making him my step-grandfather. Then the thought struck me: Davis, as in Nancy Davis and Patti Davis. Davis was my maternal grandmothers maiden name. Betty Davis married Coleman Newman. I also had a girlfriend long ago with the last name Davis. In my memory from the Navy, people sometimes called me Homer as a nickname, along with Leroy.
February 6th, my last day at Microsoft, is also Ronald Reagan's birthday. He was born in 1911, according to info on the web.
And then a thought struck me: RR! I went to see that movie An Officer And A Gentleman with a girl with the initials RR. Maybe I once dated Ronald Reagans granddaughter.

December 2, 2003
In one of the movie's many histrionic scenes -- this was intended as drama, after all -- Nancy Reagan (played by the ever-smoldering Judy Davis) soaks in a bubble bath, complaining to Ronnie that the writer Joan Didion had just published a hit piece on her.
"At least they're still talking about us," Reagan replies, with characteristic good humor.
[Well, he wanted it. I do not. But the meaning applies the same to both of us.
Also, I thought it was quite the coincidence that they threw that into that movie back then because I had something similar to that earlier someplace. And then I felt bad the next year when he died and I was going to take a week off to ignore everything that was going on and I felt even more bad for making that crack about Texas executing the mental ill, I didn't realize til later that was really inappropriate but it was something I had been thinking about earlier and should have thought it out more. It was a crazy time. Still is.]

I've just been in the mind of a genius.
Cornwallis knows more about warfare than we could learn in a dozen lifetimes.
That's cheerful news.
His victories at Camden and Charles Town were perfect. Perfect.
And he knows it, what's more.
Perhaps that's his weakness.
Sir?
Pride.
Pride's a weakness.
Personally, I would prefer stupidity.
Pride will do.
Finished, my lord.
I've taken it in at the back...
...added wider epaulets and looped gold braiding.
-It's a horse blanket. -I don't know, my lord.
It's really quite nice.
-Very nice, my lord. -Very well. It's a nice horse blanket.
Colonel Tavington, why, after six weeks...
...am I still attending a ball in South Carolina...
...when I should be attending balls in North Carolina?
First, the theft of my baggage...
...including my memoirs, on which I spent countless hours.
Then half the bridges and ferries between here and Charles Town burned.
If you can't protect our supply lines against militia...
...how do you intend doing so against the Regulars or the French?
They won't fight like Regulars. We can't find them.
Colonel, they're militia.
They're farmers with pitchforks!
They're rather more than that, I'm afraid.
Made so by their commander, this ghost.
Oh, ghost, ghost, ghost.
You created this ghost, colonel.
Your brutality swelled his ranks.
Without them this ghost would've disappeared...
...and I'd be in North Carolina by now!
In my defense, my lord--
Oh, enough, enough!
A fine soldier you are, bested by a bedtime story.
Give me the horse blanket.
O'Hara, our supply ship appears to have arrived.
Yes, my lord, it has.
Then why am I still wearing this rag?
Your replacement wardrobe is aboard ship, but...
...Colonel Tavington thought it best to secure our arms and munitions first.
They are being unloaded.
You look good in that color.
It stinks.
Well, it's had a dead man in it.
The beasts took your dogs too?
Yes.
Fine animals. A gift from His Majesty.
Dead now, for all I know.
Is there no decency?
Oh, fireworks. Lovely!
