December 7,1941

The added pain will be when there are NO survivors to recant their stories, and the stories will start getting skewed by those that want to paint a different picture.
Soon we'll start hearing from anti-war fanatics claiming every atrocity under the sun with no one to rebutt their asinine claims.

I can't even begin to imagine what that day, let alone the war was like. It sure as hell wasn't a video game!!!

Remember that those that forget history are destined to repeat it!

There was mention yesterday that the Pearl Harbor / Arizona survivors group has gotten so small it is disbanding after this year.

As of today, there are a total of 120 living Pearl Harbor survivors. Those who were able to, gathered in Honolulu one last time today for their 70th reunion. As virtually all of them are in their 90s, there will be no future reunions.
