As the years go by and the people forget more about the tragedy, less veterans are alive to speak their tales. If you don't know what Pearl Harbor is well let me refresh your mind with a little cruel demonstration.



December 7, 1941 was on a Sunday. That morning at Hawaii's Pearl Harbor, home of the "battleship row," men, women, and children alike were going about their day. That is until, far in the distance people heard the engine roars of airplanes coming closer. People wondered if this was an unexpected air show. As the roars got louder and closer, people went on with their Sunday lives. Well, everything was a daily routine until people heard bombs. "Are we being attacked?" Said most Navy personnel. It was then realized that Japanese fighter/bombers WERE indeed attacking a USA terrotory. The Japanese bombed the poop little island from nearly all it's carriers. Thousands of men, women, and children were killed that day. Stunning news got to the president of the USA and he stood in shock. Later as the day went on in Hawaii, people wondered if there was going to be another wave of Jap "Zero's" as there had been 3 waves already. Hopefully this was the last wave to come in. Fires burning, people dying, people floating dead in the harbor's waters, people looking for missing loved ones. This was a day which will and has lived in infamy.

This video better describes the attack.


Today, many veterans will cry remembering their beloved friends, brothers, shipmates. Taking part in a freedom war that will span east and west of America. That day shouldn't be remembered as a tragedy, it should be remembered as how America grew stronger by that one day. Generations that followed don't understand the cruelness and the severity of what happened. I myself cannot comprehend that fact until I see images of floating sailors that died fighting. Our Marines, Army-men, Navy, and Air Force survivors are heros in a body form. But those who gave their lives to protect their friends, brothers, and strangers are the REAL heros.

The action of the Japanese was avenged for our fallen heros. America will remember, America will never forget.
