Absolutley.

The attack on Pearl Harbor has affected everyone of us today in that the world is a different place in so many different ways. 80 million people died during WWII. The US saved the world from Tojo and Hitler. God bless all those who served and all those who died.

The hard yards had already been done by Britain and her Commonwealth countries though since 1939.

This is absolutely true, and speaking for all Americans, my (our) apologies for the wrong thinking before we entered the war. FDR made the correct decision in allowing the "surprise" attack in order to bring us into the fray.

You are correct. It took all of the Allies to overcome the evil. To this day no one can do it by themselves.

A couple of years ago I drove my 1939 Ford Convertible Sedan in the San Jose Veteran's Day Parade. Our club was asked to carry Pearl Harbour survivors. They were lined up at the curb and we picked them up in turn. When I got a chance I introduced myself and asked the gentleman for his name and what happened to him that day. He said he was stationed on the Arizona. I asked him just how he survived. He said he swam off. It always chokes me up to tell his story. Jim in San Jose
