Today is the day we were sneak attack by the Empire of Japan.
Thousands of American's died during a sneak attack on Sunday morning December 7, 1941.
Many thousands more died for our freedom in the followin years.

May God Bless those who have paid it all and all Veterans serving today and keep them safe protecting our freedom.
 
I always remember today in history. It's a reminder that tomorrow is our anniversary. We were scheduled wit the judge to get married on the 7th. He said that there was one major diaster on that day and didn;t want to repeat it. So he postponed it till the 8th. Must have worked, tomorrow will be 41 years

Well said CB. Lowered my flag early this morning. Too many of my relatives served and died for our freedom for me to forget.
Dad was a Thunderbird, served in the 45th infantry at North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, and invasion of Rome. Not only loved him for being my Dad, but ALSO what he did in his life for all of us.
 
Thanks CB. for the reminder, and to all the Veterans that have kept us free. Think I will call my Dad, he served in the navy during WW II.
 
Hug them and show them love if your Parent or Grandparent served. God bless them all. Thank you for what you gave to me and all Americans. :clap:

God Blessed America.
 
thought you might like to see these, they are some photo's my uncle took at Pearl Harbour as the Jap's bombed. He was stationed there while his ship was in for repairs.

What is the name of the first country to declare war upon Japan because of that attack?

Hint: Not the US of A

Great pictures chrisy-don't think I've seen any that detailed before.

I always said the Greatest Generation was born on this date in 1941 and came of age on in places like Normandy, Iwo and Tarawa

True, but some of them cut their teeth on the great depression. They were up and running by '41 and served as the big brothers for the younger ones.
