Default Re: Dec 7

I was born a couple years after the attack, but I can recall hearing stories about what happened when I was old enough to understand, plus watching old news films in school.
In the mid '60's the Destroyer I was stationed on pulled into Pearl Harbor, on our way home to Long Beach Ca., after two years of patrolling the South China Sea/Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam.
It was a very somber experience seeing all the US 7th Fleet war ships that were either docked or anchored in the harbor. Seeing the mountain range that the Japanese planes came over, it was not difficult to imagine how that surprise attack actually occured.
A big thank you to all the men and women serving in our armed forces today who are doing their best to prevent something like this from happening again.
