Yes you did. We rained down Hell on Earth on those people. I'm just sad to see how far from those days of pride the US has fallen.

We have become a country afraid to celebrate our American pride because the immigrants and whiners that complain. We as a nation should embrace our country. Those that don't like it GET THE F*CK OUT! :shake:


I've never been to Pearl Harbor, but I will someday. WWII was my favor war to learn about. I'm am glued to the History channel when they have specials about it.

Thank God they didn't nab our carriers, as that was what they were targeting. If they would have done so, we'd be speaking Japanese right now. Today is the 67th year to the very day, sunday.

Godspeed to the 250,000+ soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors that lost their lives defending this land in that war. Without their brave sacrifices, who knows what would have happened...

GOD BLESS AMERICA. This is always a hard day for me.
 
Like Trunk I read/watch everything I can on WWII. Those were times of selfless commitment to the country by all citizens, and like all wars, by those that serve to protect us. I wish we could experience that in my lifetime without resorting to war. This country would be a much better place.

A great WWII series is Battlefields, I see it on the military channel but I really want to own it on DVD.

My opinion are that the two greatest battles of WWII were Iwo Jima in the Pacific and the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes.

Many thanks to all that are serving and that have served.
 
The greatest Generation. When their country called, They dident ask why, they just did their Duty.

Every Year I listen to FDR's speech This year it means more because Dec 7th was on a sunday.

Freedom is never free. Unfortunatly every year we loose more and more of these freedoms.

Even so, Thanks to my service I've been all over the world. And I'm proud to say that this is still, By Far, the best country on this little blue marble.

A date that will live in infamy! :)


I will say this. All those little bluehairs and old guys that can't see over the steering wheel deserve your utmost respect. They are the last of the GREATEST GENERATION. And it truely is. They fought a major war on two fronts and the women replaced the men in the plants building the airplanes and the tanks necessary to win that war. Most of these people are well into their 80's and 90's. Treat them well fore without them, you'd probably be speaking German.
 
:gr_patrio RIP to all the lives lost. I am listening to FDR's speech right now.

It's a shame that it took so long to get a memorial up for the heroes of WWII.
 
I like the picture of all the old veterans saluting on the first page. It's nice to see the guys that were there. RIP to all the unfortunate victims of that day.

The father of a guy I work with is a veteran of WWII. He's 87 years old and he always comes up here and has lunch with his son a couple times a week. I like talking to him. He tells some good stories, but even just having normal conversation is cool.
