A cowardly attack that killed over 2400 Americans.

When I display my ‘41 Ford at a car show, I play an audio loop of the December 7th events coming from a WWII radio, I figure a little education can’t hurt.
My Dad fought in the Philippines ‘43-‘44.

I believe, Fox's, Martha McCallum (not sure I got the name right), who comes on at 4pm, Pacific, did her show on it. Her show ended yesterday, with a interview of one of the last of the WWII vets. Still VERY sharp minded.

Great woman, she is always honoring the old vets. Now that I think of it, I'm in that category, as well as many on this forum.

When I was young, I knew a few WWI vets. One had lost his leg.

Very well said, Stretch Cab..... I'm glad we have some barners who can share out sentiments with the 'modern world'. I live on the far left side of the left coast and my bedside table is perhaps 8 books deep in a couple of rows of books on WW2. I try to read other subjects sometimes, but they just don't resonate the same with me. Civil war has amazing statistics and it is almost beyond comprehension, but I have known and worked in my 50 years in the trades with some of the nicest, kindest and most modest men who served in ww2. The war that Dobie Gillis' father called 'The Big One'.
