75 years ago today.

December 7th 1941. Lets be sure to remember those hero's that gave their lives 75 years ago today. Of coarse I am talking about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I visited Pearl Harbor several ago and being there is beyond words that I can wright. If you ever get the chance to see it I will guarantee you will be glad you did.

A day worthy of remembering all the fallen heroes and the aftermath. I have not been to Hawaii or Pearl Harbor yet but like many, it is on my bucket list.  I appreciate and thank all who have served our country before, then, after and now.

Going to try to get there this coming summer.  My Dad was docked in HI for a while during Korea and loved it in Pearl.  He talked about trying to get back, but never did.

 

I want to go pay my respects to the 2,000+ KIA that day.

I have been there 5 different times and was stationed at Barbers Point for 6 month waiting for my clearance to come thru, This was in 1961 It was a island paradise then. I would probably be  disappointed in it now.. but I would like to go to the Arazona monument. I saw the ship before that was added very emotional experience. Oil was still leaking from it at that time.

IKE.

Don, date and year was all you had to supply, I don't think very many people wouldn't know what you were talking about. I've never been there, but, like many others, it is on my bucket list. I'm not American, but, I am interested in war history.

I have been there.must have been 35 years ago. You could still see oil coming up from the Arizona.

I'm not 100% sure, but, I think oil is still leaking from the ship. Don't laugh, but it was mentioned on Hawaii Five-O, it was a resent show and it showed oil leaking.

I have never been there and I know movies are not the same but when I saw Pearl Harbor years ago I cried through the bombing scene, they didn't stand a chance.  RIP

Dan you can still see little spots of oil on top of the water.

I would love to visit the Memorial to pay my respects, just not sure if it will happen.  

 

I do fly my American Flag 24/7 (solar powered light for night time) to honor all who have/are/will serve to protect us and our freedoms.
