HEY! This is Pearl Harbor Day!

[TamaraSavannah]

With so much going on, I didn't realize it till I dated the page in my diary just now.

So, Remember!

[Old Gringo]

74 years since the attack. The local newspaper has a front page interview with a local surviving vet who was there.

Definitely a milestone is US history that should not be forgotten.

Many of us would never exist !

Oh, we from Hawaii remember. My Grandmother almost miscarried my Father and one of my Aunt's last memories of sight (she went blind not long after) was of Japanese planes flying over her head.

My maternal Grandfather was a Soldier at Wheeler AAF and my maternal step-Grandfather was a civilian worker at Pearl Harbor and had nightmares for the rest of his life.

I can never remember whether it's the 7th or the 8th. Maybe this will help. Thanks.

My family survived through Pearl Harbor while living on Oahu as well. I learned many things while my grandfather was still alive, but it's sad that he passed before I became an adult and had better ears to listen.

My grandmother went into premature labor with my mother on 12/7/41 and they were able to stabilize her and my mum was born EXACTLY two months later on Maui.

Thank you TS for this great reminder thread.

Let's not forget all the young men who "still serve" on the USS Arizona.

I always remember this day as a "Day that will live in infamy." A solemn day.

And I saw the actual speech written in his own handwriting. It's in a museum at his home in Hyde Park, NY.
