Remember Pearl Harbor

A date I'll never forget for two reasons...it is also the date of my fathers passing.

RIP to them all.

My daughter's birthday.

To the fallen, R.I.P.

Went to a memorial service this morning with my grandfather.Cold morning and at 94, he still made it out.Seeing the few old vets there from various branches, always allows you to pick up on the emotion, quite moving.

Salute to all those who died and those who died in the war.

One cannot help but be impressed at the level of planning and care that went into this attack, however ultimately it was a foolhardy endeavour. As Admiral Hara Tadaichi put it "We won a great tactical victory at Pearl Harbor and thereby lost the war."

A salute to the fallen.

The attack would have been a much bigger success had the flat tops been there but that still wouldn't have changed the outcome of the war, maybe lengthen it a bit.
