This past December 4th through the 8th the Generations team traveled to Oahu, Hawaii to shoot the first segment of GENERATIONS. What an unbelievable shoot! Our Pearl Harbor Attack veteran Herbert Weatherwax (90), otherwise known as "Uncle Herb", lives near his son Clarence and his grandson Mac on the east side of the island of Oahu. Herb was drafted into the United States Army six months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was assigned to the 198th Infantry Regiment at Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, Hawaii. Herb witnessed the destruction at Pearl Harbor and also at Wheeler Field.

Our team followed Herb, Clarence, and Mac as they attended the Pearl Harbor Day 66th Anniversary Commemoration at Kilo Pier. We also visited the Arizona Memorial, Schofield Barracks where Herb was stationed, Punchbowl Cemetery where many fallen veterans are now buried, and Le Jardin Academy where Herb spoke to young schoolchildren about his experiences the day of the attack.

We feel honored to have been invited into the lives of this family. Herb is now retired. Clarence runs his father's electric company, and Mac will report to Coast Guard training this February.

We are now in post-production for the Pearl Harbor segment and are planning our trip to Normandy this June. We are still in need of funding for the rest of the GENERATIONS project, and we are also looking for veterans for the Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, and Iwo Jima trips. We appreciate your continued support in this project.
