Thank you to those who served in WW II. Not many left from the greatest generation.

Agree. I can't forget Pearl Harbor Day. It's my birthday. When people hear I was born on 12/7, they say "Pearl Harbor Day".

Little Trvia! My son in laws grandfather was at Pearl on Dec 7. His ship was in dry dock. I was able to speak to him several times before he passed. Lucky guy!

Happy Birthday. My Dad was stationed at the navel air base there when he joined the navy after the attack. He had a deferment due to his job but he gave that up and enlisted.

2,403 Americans were killed that day and 1,178 others. May they rest in peace and be remembered forever.

Happy Birthday.  I was born on Easter Sunday, my sister on Christmas, and my brother came early.

Never forget the people that served.

We must never forget!

I’m willing to bet there’s a good number of youngsters that don’t even know what Pearl Harbor day is. No more history in school thing of the past
