Remembering Pearl Harbor - "A day that will live in infamy!"
I am really surprised no one has posted this yet. Most of the major news sources seemed to have missed this too especially considering what a major point of the war this event was. But I don't think we should let them off the hook. Soon enough though, I think we WILL forget as the last of the survivors die off. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/07/pea....ap/index.html
Remember Pearl Harbor, never forget! |
You're right. It was the 9-11 of that time.
"Never forget!" |
*Observing a moment of silence for the Americans who lost their lives.*

MY FATHER AND MOTHER WERE ON FORD ISLAND,IN THE MIDDLE OF PEARL HARBOR ON DEC 7th 1941!!!...........HOW SOON WE FORGET.."WE'LL NEVER FORGET" !!!!
..............MORE IF YOU WANT...XOXOXOO |
This is not a negative comment to either tragedy whatsoever, but drawing any parallels between 9/11, which was an act of terrorism on a civilian target, and Pearl Harbor, which was an act of war on a military target, is just plain invalid- and, in my opinion, irresponsible.

My point was that comparing the two is disrespectful, as far as I'm concerned, because they are two different events and two different tragedies. Yes, Pearl Harbor was a tragedy- but it was an act of war, on a military target, not an act of terrorism on civilians in a civilian target. Once again, I am not downplaying Pearl Harbor- there's just no comparing the two, because they're two totally different things. |
isn't all war terrorism and all terrorism war ? PEACE...XOXOXOO

I do. But, then again, I belong to the American Legion. In fact, I'm currently serving as my post's Senior Vice-Commander. And, yes, the ranks are thinning. Rapidly. There are simply not enough younger veterans joining, to offset the declining numbers of WWII vets. |
I watched Tora! Tora! Tora!. Do I get a medal?

To all those that risked or gave their lives for the safety of our country: I salute you. You were esponsible for our country being safe from danger, and you were a success in that mission. |
I said: "...of it's time".
I was referring to the aspects of: the shock of an unexpected attack, being pulled into something we didn't start, and horrific loss of human life. I'm sorry you all feel that was disrespectful, irresponsible, irrelevant, and pedestrian. Disrespect in remembering Pearl Harbor was not my intention. |
