Tenney was a tank commander with the 192nd Tank Battalion, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, and a dear friend of The National WWII Museum.
Early on December 7, 1941, citizens and service members alike in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, faced terror as Japanese planes rained fire on the island in a stunning surprise attack. The assault quickly plunged the United States into a world-changing war.
Each year, The National WWII Museum commemorates the lives lost on this “date which will live in infamy.”
Join us in New Orleans at The National WWII Museum to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, on an all-new educational journey custom-curated to honor the legacy of those who served, deepen your understanding of the events that shaped our world, and connect with history during an exclusive all access itinerary on the Museum's campus.
Join us for a conversation with author G. Kurt Piehler, PhD, and Michael Bell, PhD, Executive Director of the Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, on Piehler’s book A Religious History of the American GI in World War II.
