It Took Soldiers a Year to Make Kid’s ‘Pearl Harbor’ Wish Come True, But It Was Totally Worth It
IJ Review ^ | October 8,2014 | Juan Leon

Eleven-year old Carl is a unique kid. So it’s only natural that his Make-A-Wish experience is as unique as he is. Carl has acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which makes him eligible for a wish from the Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington Foundation.

It took Carl a whole year to come up with this detailed dream wish scenario:

My wish was to be a World War II pilot stationed in Pearl Harbor that gets shot down and has to survive on a deserted island with the supplies that a World War II pilot would have. As part of Carl’s wish, he underwent training at Joint Base Lewis-McChord where he got to experience a flight simulator and was taught how to make shelter and build fire.

Okay, but in my scenario, the supplies would be 70 years old.

OK, my screen got all misty.

Dear Lord God Above All:
Please bless this child and every man and woman who gave just a small part of themselves to give him happiness, even for just a short time. Amen
