NORTHRIDGE ALUMNI VETERANS MEMORIAL
A
Northridge alumnus proposed a NHS Alumni Veterans Memorial to be erected on the grounds of the Northridge Stadium to the Board of Education on July 09, 2012. The Board of Education
approved the proposal on August 13, 2012. The start of construction was
on May 30, 2013, with the digging of holes for fence posts. The first phase of
construction was finished on September 19, 2013 and the second phase was completed
on July 03, 2014, see photo above. A black granite lighted memorial with matching
benches and flag pole, was erected. The names of deceased NHS alumni veterans
are and will be etched onto the monument. The memorial is financed by donations.
New names will be added in groups. Information is needed about NHS veterans.

Former
POW, 91, Finally Receives Medals Earned In WWII
Tampa Bay Times, 2017
Sixty-seven years after U.S. Navy Petty
Officer McPherson "Mac" Plecker nearly starved to death as a Japanese
prisoner of war, he finally got the recognition and medals he earned. "I
knew I was due some medals, but I really never paid too much attention to it," said Plecker, 91. "I really didn't think after all this time I was going to get them." But on Saturday morning, the World War II veteran was driven by stretch limousine to the Palms of Largo retirement
community for a stirring medal award ceremony in front of about 150 guests,
mostly veterans.
Nine medals were pinned to Plecker's
black jacket, including the American Defense Service Medal, a Purple Heart and a Prisoner of War Medal for imprisonment between 1941 and 1945. During
those years, Plecker suffered beatings and torture. He survived by eating rats, boiled weeds, raw fish heads — even
a can of shoe polish.
Now he has lung cancer, and it was his
Suncoast Hospice team, with assistance from former U.S. Rep. Mike Bilirakis' office, that pushed to get the medals he deserved. Daphni Austin,
veterans relations liaison for Suncoast Hospice and director of Honor Flight of West Central Florida, told the crowd Saturday that she was struck by the first thing Plecker did when he returned home to the United
States. "He went and bought a Navy dress uniform. . . . To me this was
a true statement of this man's loyalty and pride as a member of the U.S.
Navy. After everything, what was important to him was to get back into uniform," she said. That uniform had to be tailored — he weighed just over 80 pounds when he was released from prison camp.
• • •
Plecker joined the Navy in 1940 and
achieved the rank of machinist mate third class. He was stationed at Wake Island in the Pacific when the Japanese launched an air attack shortly after bombing Pearl Harbor. Shrapnel from bombs tore into Plecker's chest and left arm. He still carries scars. On Dec. 23, 1941, two weeks after the initial attack, the Americans were forced to surrender.
Plecker's personnel and medical records were lost during the invasion.
Plecker would serve the balance of World War II in prison camps in China
and Japan. After he was discharged, he went on with his life, owning a
car lot for three decades and then a drive-through beverage store. He
never pursued the decorations to which he was entitled. "It was just something
he didn't really ever talk about," said his daughter Mary Gerrity, 48, of Tarpon Springs. "He's a very humble man." Even today, the memories of his years as a POW still cause him pain. "It's something I'd just as soon forget," he said. But
his recollections will live forever. In 2002, Plecker gave a recorded audio account of his military history to his friend,
Clearwater attorney Carleton "Woody" Weidemeyer. It is now archived at
the Library of Congress as part of the Veterans History Project.
In telling his story, Plecker recalled
the first wave of bombers to fly over Wake Island. "They were not much
more than 100 feet off the ground," he said. "There wasn't much to do except run." After
the Americans surrendered, he was taken to an airfield, where his hands and neck were bound by wire to those of other prisoners
in a daisy chain formation. He recalls being kept on the airfield for
three days with no food and only "gasoline water" to drink. (The prisoners
were given water from five-gallon gas cans that had not been rinsed out.) Food
rations over the next four years consisted of fist-size balls of rice and "soup" — hot water with a bit of vegetable
juice in it. The POWs were beaten for no reason, he said. Sometimes they
were used by the Japanese for martial arts practice. Many died from exposure,
malnutrition, diarrhea and pneumonia.
• • •
By Sunday, the precious medals Plecker
had received the day before, along with an American flag flown over the U.S. Capitol, were under glass, "where my dad can look at them every day," said Gerrity. She said her father was tired out after all the pomp, but "still spunky." The nonagenarian lives independently
in his own home in North Pinellas and drives a brand new red Chevy Camaro.
Still, he remains humble. "It's
nice to know people haven't forgotten us," Plecker said.
U.S. Navy Petty Officer McPherson "Mac"
Plecker passed away on the tenth day of July, 2014.

We Are Veterans.
We left home as teenagers for
an unknown adventure.
We loved our country enough
to defend it and protect it with our own lives.
We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew.
We learned
the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth.
We found new friends and new family.
We
became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race or creed.
We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.
We
didn’t get enough sleep.
We smoked and drank too much.
We picked up both good and bad habits.
We worked hard
and played harder.
We didn’t earn a great wage.
We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing
important events.
We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again.
We grew up fast, and
yet somehow, we never grew up at all.
We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others.
Some of us saw actual
combat, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us dealt with physical
warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare.
We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t
fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical.
We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals
with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie.
We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to
survive it at all.
We have dealt with victory and tragedy.
We have celebrated and mourned.
We lost a few along the
way.
When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came
home at all.
We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.
We share an unspoken bond with
each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.
We speak highly of our own branch of service,
and poke fun at the other branches.
We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and
stand together as one, in a heartbeat.
Being a veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away.
It
has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift.
People see a veteran and they thank them for their
service.
When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and
experienced things that most people have not.
So, from myself to the rest of the veterans out there, I commend and thank
you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country.
Try to remember the good times and forget the bad times.
Share
your stories.
But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran. ����
