"Let's Remember Pearl Harbor" to quote the song that is etched in MY memory.

My first girlfriend's grand dad was the commander of Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. The family (generations of Annapolis grads) steadfastly maintained that intelligence about the impending attack was not shared with Admiral Kimmel. Needless to say, they weren't real fond of FDR.

Pearl Harbor
I often joke with people that I might be the last person that remembers Pearl Harbor. I was 5 years old and my father had just gotten a job inspecting 03A3's at Remington in Ilion. We lived in a third floor apartment in Herkimer. A little after lunch time we began hearing about the attack on the radio. We went outside; it was a sunny but cool December day and Main street was full of people asking each other what they had heard.
Best, Austin |

You know it's funny, watching TV last night, local news NBC news, no mention of Dec 7. Looked at the cable channels figured there would be a lot of WWII movies etc, "None" I guess it's now old news, just to be forgotten...... Sorry for the rant. Eric

In this era of 'instant gratification' the news media caters primarily to the X-generation and if something doesn't affect them directly it loses significance. Blame it on the education system too... severely lacking in American history and world history.
For we, children of "The Greatest Generation" and the surviving heroes of WW II... we remember. Thank You All members of our Armed Forces - both past and present. |
