    I doubt 1 in 10 people know what happened on this day.

    I would also bet anyone under the age of 50 the number is even lower :cry:

    I would NOT take that bet. My granddaughter who is in 5th grade, the school does little WW2 teaching or WWI ect. ect. BUT they have a full 30 days of BHM, AND now have mandated LGTBQ teaching of all the group has done for the country?/ :arrow: --Illinois has passed the law. Ohh yea, forgot, Spanish history in the USA, they have two solid weeks of that also.

    Currently watching a History Channel special called "Pear Harbor: 24 Hours After."

    Pretty interesting. A lot of behind the scenes perspectives being illuminated.

    Our old neighbor, who passed away in Oct. 2013 at the age of 97, joined the navy in 1936. He was stationed mostly on the bases up on Puget Sound. He told of degaussing British mine sweepers before the US was in the war. He told of spending nights out on the docks in Seattle making submarine nets from 1" cable. He welded on the Nevada when it was towed to Seattle after Pearl Harbor. He lost his left eye when a drop of water dropped into a pot of molten babbit, and it exploded in his face. He begged the navy to send him to sea, but after the loss of the eye, they would not.

    Friends father was in the Army and was at Schofield Barracks on this day in 1941.

    The father then went through all of the Pacific. He would not talk about December 7th for a long time. It was only after many newpapaers and TV stations asked to speak with him that he did he talk about it. But not in a lot of detail. In fact was featured in a PBS documentary on Pearl Harbor.

    Now watching on the same History Channel, "Pearl Harbor: The Truth."

    All the Intelligence leading up to Dec.7th, in which Critical information, was purposefully withheld from the Commanders in Charge at the time.

    (Kimmel, and Short.) Both Court Martialed after the fact for "Dereliction of Duty." Scapegoats?

    I certainly appears so.


    The facts being laid out, are Damning.






    So the Lying began, far longer (and) before JFK's assassination.



    The best quote, at the very end of this documentary, is that "Americans should have no interest in a tapestry, formed by Lies."

    Pretty damning information brought to light, in this Documentary. Judge for yourself.

    Sounds like a guy I'd like to have a glass of bourbon with....

    I will never forget Pearl Harbor. My late father in law would have celebrated his 90th birthday today. He was too young to enlist back in 41 but did so in time for our fiasco with N. Korea.

    Thinking that a person 90 years old today would have been too young for WWII really tells me that our boys and gals from that fight are really going away in quick order! Very sad! My father served in the South Pacific fighting the Japanese and would be 106 on his next birthday.
