:salute:To the fallen...

The movie may be cack, but some scenes give me goosebumps, and this is one of them:

RIP to those lost at Oahu on this day all those years ago.

:salute: To the fallen

I hope this thread doesn't go the same way it went last year

I have a horrid feeling it will later this afternoon. :nope:

In memoriam.

Til then, may we Never Forget.

In memoriam.

The movie is cack, and the same scene was done better thirty years ealier.

I'll be watching Tora! Tora! Tora! tonight. It's the least I can do.

Epic! I think I'll join ya.

Touché...can't deny that. I must watch Tora! Tora! Tora! again sometime, it's been a looong time since I last watched it.

Good idea!

For now, I like the way this thread is heading. Tora! Tora! Tora! should be required viewing.

Oh, here's to other meetings,
And merry greetings then;
And here's to those we've drunk with,
But never can again.

/salute

Back at you. And let us not forget those who were our fathers and those who were/are combat arms.

A bad day for me...also the first anniversary of my fathers passing.

Thoughts with you as well, Jim.

Heinrich Heine, German journalist, literary critic, and poet (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856):

"I had once a beautiful fatherland.
The oak tree
Grew so high there, violets nodded softly.
It was a dream. It kissed me in German and spoke in German
(You would hardly believe
How good it sounded) the words: "I love you!"
It was a dream."


"Mark this well, you proud men of action: You are nothing but the unwitting agents of the men of thought who often, in quiet self-effacement, mark out most exactly all your doings in advance."

"Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison."

"Where they burn books, at the end they also burn people."

Immanuel Kant, German philosopher (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804):

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! [dare to know] "Have courage to use your own understanding!"--that is the motto of enlightenment."
