Tomorrow is December 7th...

Tomorrow, December 7th marks the 82nd anniversary of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Ironic when we consider that these types of attacks still exist in modern times...911 in NYC and now October 7th in Israel.

History has taught us that we must be prepared and ever vigilant for those who may wish to hurt us or our allies.

Please remember all those who have sacrificed in the cause of freedom.

I gotta ask ….moderators….who did away with the emoji with the American flag. This is America….and yes it’s politically correct to have it available to use . Thanks

It's OK, Doug. You'll have more of these senior moments as you age. You'll get used to it and laugh at yourself....eventually...

Thanks to all that serve. I had 2 decorated Uncles who served in WWII.

I’ve said it before, it’s moving to be at the Arizona and see this in person.

You'll see very little coverage of this in the media.
Less & less every year in fact.

It's deeply saddening to me, and very unfortunate with regards & respect to the strength of this great country- that my personal reserved opinions on this are very unpopular.

But just look in the garages/driveways of most so called Americans- and it's pretty clear why most would prefer to see this observance/remembrance disappear completely.

Not so much the case for some of us however- who will never forget.
