While bypassing the bickering, I thought I'd post a reminder of one of
the most solemn days in U.S History, via the attack on Pearl harbor
and the sinking of the crippling of the Pacific fleet.

Remembering the day.

The bing search engine used an aerial shot of the memorial as wallpaper today. Also they had links to some historic newsreels. Quite sobering, really.

Yes indeed. In our local courthouse is a picture of a young marine
who went down on the Arizona.

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

I had to sort through about 200 posts this morning to find this post,
which is at least sort of boating related and not snotty. Congratulations!

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.
