Lest we forget...

I believe that most people under forty in this country don't know where Pearl Harbor is or what happened. So sad.

The really sad part is that with 5 to 10 minutes of better preparedness we could have won the day.   We had plenty of firepower available.

In retrospect, this was a legitimate counterforce warfare operation.  The Japanese were honorable gentlemen compared to the absolute satanic sub-humans who attacked our country on September 11, 2001.

Navy vs navy is one thing. 
Civilians airliners full of innocent civilians crashed into buildings filled with innocent civilians is another.

Lest we forget...

 I've always hoped to be able to someday visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial site, Ford Island, Wheeler Field, and tour as many of the other areas that were attacked as possible. I would stand in humble respect and honor, quietly looking around and soaking in the incredible weight of that date in our history. No disrespect to any who have ever served, but it's difficult for me to even find words to express my appreciation for those who served our country at any level in WWII.
 

 Also, my comment here from the other day in Sparky's Open Forum WWII post:

 The "Greatest Generation", a nickname well earned and that proves to be more and more truthful everyday. Personally, I never need to be reminded of this date in history. I also find this to be a very humbling time period each year, thinking of the events of that day and the rest of WWII. It's shameful and embarrassing that so many today just don't have the slightest clue, or even try to.

We circle the Statue of Liberty until 1255 hours, the local time of the start of the attack. This year there were 73 red roses commemorating Pear Harbor and 1 white rose for September 11th dropped in the harbor.
