View Full Version : Dec 7 Thank You
Today, December 7, Pearl Harbor Day I am reminded of the sacrifice our warriors have paid for our freedom! I want to thank you all, especially our WWII veterans and our young veterans from our current conflicts.

May God bless the armed service members and their families, past and present, for their sacrifices to our great nation the United States of America.
We can never thank them enough for what they do.

I was fortunate to be able to visit the memorial this past summer. It was very moving. I really learned a lot about that day that I did not realize before.

What causes me pain...this morning on multiple news programs, nothing about today, and that is seriously wrong.
Its sad that fewer and fewer WWII veterans are here to remind us of the importance of this date. I did see a brief piece on the Denver Fox31 news showing FDR making his "Day that will live in infamy" speech.

+1 to visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl. I mentioned the anniversary yesterday and few had thought about it. Out of sight, out of mind. So sad. My wife's grandfather is a P.H. survivor and lives down in Salida. I cherish every moment I get to spend with him. Last year there was a parade in the Springs he attended with other WWII vets. Only 4 were able to attend.

I was stationed in Hawaii with the Army and been down to Pearl Harbor several times. Both of my grandfathers were stationed at Pearl Harbor the day of the attack. Neither one would talk about it. When I was younger I built models of several of the ships that were sunk that day and placed them in glass display cases then donated them to my local Americal Legion hall.

As I was walking around the New Embassy Complex here in Baghdad today, a friend of mine who was in the Marines asked why the flag was at half staff. I said, dude its december 7th. It took him a minute to figure it out. Sad day.

The things they apparently don't teach in school anymore, meh.
On this date in 2004 my mother passed away. This is a day that will live in infamy for many reasons.

December 7, 1941. Thank you to our brave soldiers!
I was at the Bronco game a few weeks ago and they were recognizing a PH survivor. This guy was on the Arizona and had burns on 70% of his body. They said that he couldn't sit down for a year because of of his injuries and multiple surgeries. What does he do? He reenlisted in the Navy while he was in the hospital and went on to participate in 5 amphibious assaults in the pacific. A true American hero.

HOLY CRAP! I was telling some of my buddies who were 10th MTN WWII vets that their generation truly were the toughest men to ever don a uniform... Damned if I didn't do my best to fill those boots, but no matter how hard I tried, we didn't quite compare. Those guys are the reason we're the home of the brave, land of the free! God bless them, and it's sad to see so many of them are passing so often now. [Salute]

I feel the same way. None of the stuff we did will ever compare. I have had the privileged to meet a lot of ww2 vets in the history group I used to be in and they are truly amazing.
