Wolverine 10,360 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yes, and remember how we squared it with an atom bomb to Hiroshima and Nagasaki! That's how we should deal with Iran. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Believe me, I haven't forgetton and never will. I have been to the Pearl Harbor Memorial more times then I remember, and shed quite a few tears. It is a very sombre place. I have sat in the movie/documentary, surrounded by Japanese on all sides, and just wondered what they were thinking. I also know that a lot of them were crying, and by their ages, I expect might have been serving the Emperor during that time frame. If you have not been, it is something that is worth going to. The whispering voices during the movie/documentary will haunt you. Semper Fi! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rockina 60 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Will be interesting to see if the liberal media even mentions "Pearl Harbor Day" and what it means. My eternal GRATITUDE to ALL who serve and my solem PLEDGE that their sacrifice will not have been in vain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yakdung 2,926 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I just checked the three major networks and didn't see any mention on their web pages. That is not surprising to me. I have been to Pearl Harbor and I highly recommend it to everyone as it is a very moving experience. Oil from the engine room was still bubbling to the surface in 1988 when I visited. It was almost as if the soldiers were sending a message as a reminder not to forget us. I also find it interesting that Google can put a pink ribbon on their main search page or some other kind of recognition, but have intentionally ignored today to be politically correct. I guess they don't want to offend the whining liberal pussies. http://www.pearl-harbor.com/arizona/arizona.html Texans will never forget: http://www.nimitz-museum.org/ Yakdung Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't mean anything and Bill Clinton APOLOGIZED for what we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Our bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 11,054 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 The parallels between 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are striking. In each instance there were warning signs before the attack, and in each instance our government failed to connect the dots. -Diane Watson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Japanese mendacity over the atomic bomb is overwhelming! They had no less than 3 Manhattan projects, and some of the fissionable material we used may have been captured from THEM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lelandeod 179 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Remember the Alamo! Remember the Maine! Remember something to solidify support to wage war against some poor dumb sap also duped into violence by their government! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kwicko 8 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Especially all of you who own Jap cars! Maybe we need to teach history a bit better! One assumes that goes for anyone who drives a German car as well. Or Italian. Or British or French, since we've had wars with them as well. And don't forget that the Germans owned Chrysler, and now the Italians are taking it over. So that leaves Ford and GM. Of course, GM is largely government-owned now, with money borrowed from China, so it's essentially a Chinese company. Guess it's down to Ford and Ford only. Only make sure you stay away from the Ranger pickup, since it's a Mazda with a new badge. And do some checking, just to make sure your car was really built in the USA, 'cause an awful lot of F150s come from Mexico and Brazil, and lots and lots of Mustangs have been built in Canada over the years. Meanwhile, my Honda was made in Ohio, by American workers. Weird how that works out... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got talking to a Veteran neighbor yesterday when I was leaving for work, about Pearl Harbor. I wanted to just hang out and listen to his stories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
