A DATE THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

Posted by Pistol Pete

I had no intention of posting anything today until I realized what day it was. Considering the price those men paid I felt it my duty and my honor to voice my appreciation in whatever way I could. Fortunately I was educated in a time when schools actually taught about our history without the political biases. It seemed to me unthinkable that as Japan was overrunning the Far East and committing genocide of the Chinese we did nothing. I understand there were a lot of people who had no taste for another World War. We helped the Allies in Europe through Lend Lease,but did not involve our own war machine until the Empire of Japan wakened the sleeping tiger.

A precious few,some estimate about 70,that survived that day are still with us. You wonder what their opinion of the current administration is.

THIS IS THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL. HER COMRADES REST TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY. NO BOAT OR DIVER CAN TAMPER WITH THIS SACRED MEMORIAL.
