A Clear Reading of History - a photo on Flickriver

            Submitted for #MacroMondays #Hobby.  Studying military history has been a hobby of mine for many years.  I find studying the past gives me perspective on the present and allows for informed discussion as to what the future may hold.  Pictured through the glasses in this photograph is the Medal of Honor Citation for Chief Watertender Peter Tomich, United States Navy.  Chief Tomich's Citation reads as follows: 

"For The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to Chief Watertender Peter Tomich, United States Navy, for distinguished conduct in the line of his profession, and extraordinary courage and disregard of his own safety, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by the Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. Although realizing that the ship was capsizing, as a result of enemy bombing and torpedoing, Chief Watertender Tomich remained at his post in the engineering plant of the U.S.S. UTAH (AG-16), until he saw that all boilers were secured and all fireroom personnel had left their stations, and by so doing lost his own life."
