Let us today remember the men who died and those who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. A war started because of Japan's desire to take China for themselves and their alliance with Nazi Germany. Japan knew the US would not stand for this and attacked us on that morning. Our men fought bravely both on the ground and in the air. We took heavy losses that day but in the end we triumphed. I will probably not make it to FRG today but I did last year and it was great. It was freezing cold but I got some pics but most importantly got the chance to meet two Pearl Harbor veterans, both of which I shook their hands and thanked them for their contribution to this land we live in. A land we can walk the streets freely, and voice our opinions, get a job and start a family. With much opportunity. Something that many other countries don't enjoy. I heard Fred may have been going and I hope he can one of the vets the same because I for one appreciate what they did as 18 year olds in the 40's for this country.
