Dec 7th

Happy Pearl Harbor day. Makes you want to run right out and buy a Mitsubishi (zero).

I was wondering if anyone was going to remember -- than you Peter and thanks to all that served and are still serving :)

Its the day my mother dropped a bomb (me).

1941 attack on Pearl Harbor far from forgotten

It's my b'day also David, was born in 41 too.
Just visited Pearl Harbour when we were in Hawai'i two weeks ago.

56 Years ago today, my Dad joined the Navy in New Orleans. Thanks go to him, all veterans, and currently serving servicemen and women!

My father served in the Aleutians and fought in the battles there in very cold conditions. He never talked about the war but after he passed away I got his albums from those battles. All I can say is those pictures are worth a thousand words. Thanks to all our veterans.

R.I.P to whom died that day...:( Hopefully there will never be another WW....:)

I was 10 years old at the time and had gone to the movies that afternoon. When my father picked me up
I got in the car and he said "we're at war. The Japanese just bombed Pearl Harbor". I was stunned and
couldn't fully understand just what that meant but I knew it was not good. Of all the members of our family
that were in WWII none were in the Pacific but rather served in Europe. I did get to go to the far east
many years later and served in Korea in 52-54. And my initial assumption was correct. It was not a good thing.
I salute all that served everywhere for our country.

I had an Army uncle killed in Italy, another survived Germany. My wife's stepdad was a Marine in the Phillipines, but evacuated when his older brother, a Marine aviator, was killed Dec 7, 1942. Back then, no sole surviving son was put on the front.
