Default December 7, 1941

December 7, 1941 a day that lives in infamy. Thanks to military and scientists that put end to World War 2. Pray for the politicians start to making right decision to put a end to War we are in now.

As long as there are humans on the rock, history will repeat itself. And as time goes on, we are losing our vets. Soon, there will be no one alive who was there on Dec. 7, 1941. I was surprised today when I opened the Hartford Courant and there was an article and pics on the front page! They had no mention of D-Day at all.
As long as we have the "Do nothing" Congress and Senate, nothing will get done to help this country. The most useless bunch of idiots that are getting paid to represent us, but in reality, are representing the special interests, who line their pockets with dirty money.

Evil acts come from the evil hearts of evil men.

We must remember the past, and learn from it.

Just heard President Roosevelts speech replayed on the radio this morning on the way to work. Very moving, I can't imagine what it would have been like on that day.
I have been to the Arizona memorial, and I think every American should go, lest we forget.

I'd say that the last sentence in the above comment from down under is incredibly off base on this particular day. Free speech and common sense are not mutually exclusive.

I tried to change the topic because you gentlemen were getting into a heated argument.
Listen you.... My father, my uncles all fought in WW2.
Risked their lives to give us a free world for you to live in!
