Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Yep, it's today! I remember it because A) I've recently played Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, B) it's a week before my birthday, and C) it's worth remembering!

Poor soldiers on the Arizona...

Thank you for remembering. Another Pearl Harbor survivor passed on and was buried here with his shipmates today.

awh..yeah...well i DO hope we'll have a Hiroshima and Nagasaki rememberance day 😉

me too...........I'd love a day set aside particularly for remembering how we dropped the big bombs on Japan, especially since you must remember their sneak attack on the U.S. which wasn't even in WWII at the time.

lol if we were to remember every battle that took place on our soil, we would be remembering every day of the year

since you must remember their sneak attack on the U.S. which wasn't even in WWII at the time.

it wasn't a sneak attack, it was well expected imho

The Japanese warned us, we just didn't put 2 and 2 together.
The nice thing about Dec 7 was that it occured on a Sunday this year, the day it occcured in 1941. I was a little shocked by the lack of media coverage of the memorial. I remember watching it on the History Channel last year, but it wasn't on this year. It's an important day in US history and should always be remembered.

Respect to the veterans and lost!

Yep, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombing should be remembered as well, though I don't know the date.
