Pearl Harbor Day
Let us not forget Dec. 7 1941. As was said, "a date that will live in infamy".

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
So true. I can't help but wonder how many teachers will explain to their students (today) the significance of Dec. 7, 1941. God Bless The Greatest Generation and all those who have served and sacrificed to keep us free.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
Let’s never forget, I try in collect all the Pearl Harbor memorabilia I can find and afford, and educate the public at car shows especially the kids. I went to the Arizona memorial in 2008, it was a very moving experience I will never forget.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
We’ll said everyone. My dad enlisted in Air Force about 6 months later when he graduated high school. We enjoy our freedoms today because of so many men who served in several wars and conflicts!

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
Just a thought to share. When these soldiers went to war they went for the duration to be there until the job was done. That in itself is hard on the mind as they did not know if or WHEN they would see their loved ones again. Subsequent wars had a tour length where if we lived we could return home.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
Amazing story and makes you realize just how easy we have it today. That generation did what ever it took to get things done regardless of how difficult, regardless of the weather and all without complaining or whining about conditions, equipment, or pay. To bad those values haven't been installed to later generations. Those lucky enough to return from the war dealt with what what they encountered, put it behind them and went about resuming a civilian life, many living into their 90's. They are the last of the true hero's, a tough bunch and I salute and respect every one of them.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
Well said KB. Sad to say many residents today are less associated to American values and more about what they can slurp from the feeding trough of government. The greatest generation had nothing in mind except doing everything possible for our country rather taking everything possible from our country.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
Ive watched multiple interviews with men who fought in WW2, only boys then, but they did some amazing feats, all while going through hell. Hero’s one and all in my book.

Re: Pearl Harbor Day
My dad was on the older class Battleship Mississippi during WW2 and had been at Pearl Harbor earlier in 41 but was sent out to patrol the N. Pacific. Ended up going to the 2 Alaska Aleusion Islands (Kiska and Attu) to bombard the Japanese who had landed there using their16" guns.
