69 years ago, Pearl harbor was hit at almost 8:00 AM by the Japanese.
Lower your flag to half mast from sunrise to sunset tomorrow.
Thank you and Semper fi.

I had two uncles at Pearl Harbor. Luckily, they survived.

I was at Pearl Harbor for the 50th anniversary. Wow... 19 years ago. I was an E-5. I was on limited duty with a broken back, and serving at Naval Station Pearl Harbor working support for all the events. I spent hours and hours talking with the amazing men that were there for the event. I took many of them on tours of Ford Island and the ferry's that got us there. (There is a bridge now)
They told me that the ferry's that were being used then (1991) were the same ferry's that were there the day the bombing happened. And as a side note... they are the same ferry's that appear in the film "Pearl Harbor" with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnet.
That day will always "Live in infamy".

I worked with a guy who was a Master Seargent looking to retire after 24 Army years.
He was due to get out Febuary 1942,Then he got locked in for the duration. He was a gunnery instructor at Pearl for the duration.
Don, Youre one of my heros. I love you man, and miss you bad.

Did anyone even hear this mentioned on the news? The significance of the date I mean. I didn't have time to specifically tune in and watch the entire news show, but I didn't hear a mention all day with spotty listening to the radio. What makes the news these days really disgusts me. I hope our heros were remembered.

We had our ham radio club Christmas party last night at a local resteraunt. We brought a flag on a pole in with us. Before the party, we said the Pledge of Aliegiance and a prayer for all Veterans past and present. Thanks to all of the Vets, from Pearl Harbour and elsewhere. Hay Jimmyt |
