Don't know. Got it from a friend of mine who said to pass it on to everybody we could. The name at the end of the poem was all I had. No idea who the exact author is.

No idea who the exact author is.

It would be nice to get the attribution, cuz it IS a nice piece of writing.

Michael Marks apparently wrote it on Pearl Harbor Day in 2000.
