George Washington Pearcy

This week for Memorial Day, I am mentioning Anne’s Great Uncle – 2nd Lt. George W. Pearcy.  Pearcy was a POW for 901 days in WWII, and shares his experiences through notes he took during his captivity and gave to a fellow prisoner before his death.  You can read the notes (many written on the back of canned food labels) here.

We thank God for all those who have paid the ultimate price, that we can live in such great liberty!

Here is a link to the Sermon.
