This is not only a historic day for the United States, but also
involved our Navy, and it's ships. Really big boats.

Personally I prefer celebrating the Battle of Midway. That was
when we
started sinking their boats. (First week of June)

I do appreciate that we have changed the flag etiquette for 12/7
Now we start at half mast in the morning and at noon you run it
to the
top of the pole.

Yup. Couple of years ago we were at the local VA hospital with
valentine
cards and one guy is a riot. Gets to telling us about doing photo
recon in
the South Pacific and is getting ready to go fly and the local
commander
tells him they are loading him with bombs, no recon today. Go
bomb the
Japanese at Midway. Some great story were told. No bragging, just
telling
how life was as a young man in the Aircorp.

It is a great line, but it was most likely created by a Hollywood
screenwriter, and is not a quote by the Admiral.

Nice insulting and name calling. Harry is teaching you well.
