Pearl Harbor.

[Wayne M.]

It’s December 7 again. The news media is even more neglectful about what happened today. Even with that event in Pearl Harbor the other day, the morning news is blind to the history of 1941.

 

[Tuesdak]

You mean the omission of facts about the U.S.A. land invasion that didn't happen because they understood there was a G U N that U.S.A. Citizens knew how to use behind every blade of grass?

This push to ignore, deny, re-interpret, and re-write history is a very dangerous thing.

I just got back from our local market and it just so happened that today was one of those rare occasions that there was no waiting in the checkout line and no one behind me. I took the opportunity to ask,(the 30 something) young man if today had any significance in American history?
Crickets, and finally a, "no sir." I asked if the words, "A day infamy," struck a bell? Still nothing. I didn't take it any further as it was obvious he didn't care or had never been taught of this historical attack on this great nation.

 

[Wiredawg]

I sure do think about it. And also, disappointed in how little has been mentioned. My Dad served in WWII and was already in the Army when this terrible act was carried put by the Japanese.

GOD BLESS THE ONES WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE AND THE REMAINING SURVIVORS FROM THAT TERRIBLE DAY.

Very Respectfully, Ron

You have to remember that this nation that is called the united state is no longer the United States. That nation has disappeared into history.

Mostly, but not completely. For those of you who do not subscribe to Fox Nation, you should. I don't care what your political affiliation is. There are alot of shows and programs strictly dedicated to the Armed Forces. Life stories and sacrifices they and their loved ones have made. I'd be lying if I said I've yet to shed a year watching some of the personal accounts. There are some real heros out there, and yes they are of the younger generation. There is hope.

 

[BoeingDiesel]

What do you expect from a generation who twice elected a President who apologized to the aggressors for winning the war in a manner that saved American lives?

Unfortunately, I observed what I expected.

I hope this never comes to pass.

Thought y'all might enjoy this pic of US flag from inside the USS Arizona Memorial.

Another one.

Very Majestic and Patriotic!

[dieselshadow]

Thanks for that Ron. I think that is very appropriate to post today.

Arizona had their event, all state flags at half mast, a ceremony at the USS Arizona memorial and a fly over of a B-17G. I taught my daughter now 27 a lot of history as schools are not doing it unless it's Hugo Chavez or something like that.

I have not made the trip to HI yet, but the memorial is my main reason to make the trek.

My wife and I took a vacation there 8 or so years ago. Pearl Harbor was mandatory on our list. It was a very humbling and sobering experience. My Grandfather and step Grandfather both fought in WWII in the Asian Pacific, so I felt I owed it to them at least visit. I personally feel that every American that makes it out there owes it to themselves to go. It made us both appreciate our freedoms because of the sacrifices made.

I feel like pride in our country is lost in a lot of my generation and the ones after me. I try to pass this pride down to my kids so hopefully it sticks.

Anyway, I felt compelled to say something about it.

Thanks to all that serve or have served.

Thanks for the encouraging post, and keep up the good work. Though I did not have the privilege of serving, I honor all those who have and are serving today. My Dad's older brother was lost in the Pacific theater serving as a Machinist Mate on PT337. Years ago we went to Battleship Cove in Fall River, MA, and they have a restored PT on display. As "crew kin" they opened her up so we could go below deck, and sign the guest log. I can't tell you what a moving experience that was.

The Pearl Harbor Memorial is a very moving experience that I never forget, each time I have been to Hawaii I visit the memorial.

...and here we are and what a year it has been. Let us not forget this day and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in protecting this great nation!
Blessing to all

Yup and yet another year has passed. Now I have a longer commute to work, and as I listened to two NYC AM news stations for a decent amount of time, I just realized that there was no mention on either station.
