A massive apology for missing December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day

Posted Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 10:25 AM

It was different times in our World and while those who lost loved ones in both the attack and WWII will never forget, there is a real possibility that the World may eventually forget.

This is not to disparage any country or race. Rather it is to remember those who died in a world conflict that can hopefully be avoided in the future through remembering the past.

    Some people will never forget. Sadly, however, some will never know. And as the generations pass there will be more and more who don't know.

  • I was stationed aboard a ship home ported at Pearl Harbor circa 1957-1960. There was still ship wreckage in the channel entering Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona had part of it's super structure above water.

  • That had to be a chilling reminder to all who passed Carl. Thank you for your service.

  • It was a gruesome and heart rending sight. Of course the USS Arizona is now covered by a Memorial. Most people probably don't know that still entombed in the Arizona is near half of all casualtys of the raid and in my day the superstructual visible above water was a constant reminder of that terrible fact.
