EPILOGUE

HOURS LATER DECEMBER 7, 2001

The sun began to set over the horizon and the USS Arizona Memorial. Safe on solid land, Meg stood by Danny's side as they watched the beautiful sunset.

"Would you like to see Pearl Harbor at sunset from the air someday, Kahea?"

Meg glanced up at Danny, a bit thrown off by that sudden question. She thought it over, then, "Maybe"

"If you want, I promise one day to show you guarantee that the sight is awesome."

"Oh and how do you know?"

Danny gave her a secretive and knowing grin. Shrugging, "Just a feeling saw it in a dream once."

Meg nestled her head on Danny's shoulder, looking back at the view before her. Suddenly, she gasped at a lone figure standing and smiling at them.

"Danny" She whispered, her eyes on the figure, voice quivering in disbelief.

Danny's eyes followed Meg's when he too stood there, stunned. A grin spread across his young, handsome face at the sight of a man he himself knew inside and out. "Land of the free, Captain Walker." He fondly called out as softly and respectfully as he could.

Daniel Walker nodded at his great grandson. His soft eyes were sparkling with pride and joy as he saluted the young man. He winked and smiled at him, before fading into the sunset as he spoke out to him, "Home of the brave, my boy Danny."
