Sending out a special remembrance to all those who are still around that served back then.

I was saddened this morning when neither the local nor the national news mentioned this day in history.

The only story I saw was on the History Channel. Sadly, Remember Pearl Harbor has gone the way of Remember the Maine and the Alamo. Soon 9/11 will be forgotten as well

It is a terrible shame how fast people forget.

If you have been to Pearl Harbor you will see that oil is still coming to the surface from the Arizona. The Hawaiians say that it is the tears from those who went down with her.

Local news did a good job. Don't have many complaints. Mostly I feel it was forgotten with 9-11.
We have friends here who was there for WW11. Lee, I love you Brother,,, remembering you on this day. And Lee,,, I remember your brother too.

Well apparently the news networks remembered too. They had a 10-second mention about Pearl Harbor... followed by 2 minutes about John Lennon's death.

Dear God, not everything that happens in your world reflects your goodness and grace. You have given us freedom to choose, and with that freedom sometimes we choose to do evil. Today we remember a time of great evil in our world - we remember World War II. We also remember those who stood their ground against great evil, those who fought here at home and on the battle fronts to insure that evil would not prevail. We thank you that in the hour of need you gave men and women the strength and resolve to stand, whatever the cost. May those brave souls who still remain here with us feel today your hand of favor and strength. In their last years here on earth give them renewed hope and an awareness of our gratitude for their bravery and sacrifice. May we never forget them, and may you honor them according to the grace you gave in those days and according to their response to that grace, then and now. In Jesus..."

I didn't forget either.

To show my respect I killed a few hundred japs in Call of Duty the other day.

It's comforting to know our neighbors to our north care and remember that "day of infamy".

It just seems as though this horrific, infamous, historical day in U.S. history should have received alot more attention. U.S. history seems to take a back seat to whatever is currently in vogue and commercially newsworthy. God forbid that 9/11 will fade away from the educators of our youth.
Then you get the thought that history repeats itself. History will always repeat itself if the lessons learned are never understood, reinforced and implemented. National defense is a 24/7 proposition. Someone or some group didn't make the right decisions on either day, Dec.7th, and Sept. 11th. History had indeed repeated itself.
Prayers outbound to all lost souls. May they rest in eternal peace.

Good Morning DAN. Sad as it is, these dates seem to have a habit of becoming politically inconvenent. The new Turks, at the top are embarrassed by them., so they get swept under the rug. Just one opinion.

Why'd you spray our Devil Dogs in the face?

I'd think they'd be proud of who they were, and they were performing an honorable assignment when the photos were taken.

I'm sure you were just trying to protect them, but I wouldn't think that would be necessary for a case like this.

Because I'm one of those "devil dogs", and people on this forum are dirt bags that like to **** over other Marines once they find out who they are if you get under their skin. Its happened to me before so don't act like its alright. (Thats why I had to change my screen name, but most of the old timers know who I am)
