75th Anniversary...

[Gaucho Gringo]

Even though I was born 9 years and 3 months after Pearl Harbor, it is burned in my brain cells. My dad joined the Marines the next day and was in one of the first groups of Marines sent to the Pacific.

A day that will live in infamy.

The saddest thing is the Vets of this generation, the greatest generation, is disappearing quickly. 492 WW2 Vets pass everyday.
Losing these Americans means the stories, the truths, and the legendary acts of courage pass along with them.

We will never forget.

77 years ago, a date that still lives in infamy



For the first time, there will be a Pearl Harbor memorial service without any survivors of the USS Arizona present

Godspeed to the greatest generation, they're numbers are dwindling quickly...

May America never forget what this day represents, but unfortunately, WWII is glossed over in our educational systems... So sad...

I have had the honor of visiting the Arizona memorial and also standing on the bridge of BB-63 Missouri which is directly astern! What an emotional experience to see the remains of the Az still leaking it's life blood as if it were a living thing still suffering, and the Oil is less and less as more sailors who served aboard her go to their duty stations in Heaven to be with their shipmates! God bless them all, and God bless the the Mighty Arizona!

I always fly old glory at half mast on all military holidays. I can't seem to keep the water in my eyes today for some reason....

Yup, & agree, but, Old Glory should be at half mast currently through December 30th.

30 days for the passing of a President. Regardless of one's feelings towards the individual, out of respect to the office held.

Ours is...
