Remember!.....68 years ago

sad day indeed.

 

BOY DO I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---Had my ear glued to the old "Squawk box" radio at 10 yrs old!!--------Don

 

Sad day, I appreciate all those who paid the ultimate price for us all to live in this great country today. I thank all of you servicemen/women on the board past and present. Thank you especially our greatest generation.-Weeks

 

My grandfather was there (RIP 2-14-07). He caught a bacteria in his ear from crawling in the marsh water and lost partial hearing. The V.A. denied him benefits for his ear for 25 years and after a 15 year court battle he finally got his benefits from it.

 

I was hoping someone would start this thread. I'm the product of my folks having one more fling before he went off to war. I never met him.
Thanks

 

god bless our wonderful country.

 

Today's generations haven't a clue as to what sacrifice is. Thanks to the brave men who answered the call after Dec.7 we can build and drive hot rods (and a whole lot of other things not enjoyed by a vast number of people in the world).

A day that shall live in infamy......

 

I've always had list small decal in the corner of the windshield of the '34

 

My dad p***ed thru there in 1943 on his way to serve in the Phillipines.
On the way back he had shore leave.The Polynesian culture and atmosphere stayed with him the rest of his life,although he never returned to the Hawaiian Islands.
He p***ed,ironically enough,Dec.7,a few years back.

Thank you to all our veterans and those who serve.

 

thanks too all who were there.

God bless all our vetrans

 

A small story ... about those times.

On Saturday night December the 6th, 1941, my Dad had a date with my Mom. They have been dating for about a year. My Dad asked my Mother to marry him and she said YES. They went and told his parents and then went and asked her parents for their blessing. My mom was 19 years old ... but that was the custom of polite folks back then.

The next morning was Decemebr the 7th, 1941

I would have taken the Pearl Harbor attack as a bad sign ... but my folks decided to move the marriage date up from sometime in a year or year and a half to January 1942. They were married for 37 years until my Mothers death in 1979. I came along in 1948. My Mother was only 56 years old at the time of her death. My Father mourned for her ... until his death in 2004. He served in World War II from 1942 until the end of the war.

truly the GREATEST generation,God Bless America!

 

Why is it that I watched the news this morning with NO mention of it....

Will 9/11 ever become like that???

 

I'm not old enough to remember but I do know if American men and women did not step up and fight we would not be enjoying freedom today 69 years later.Thank you for your service to this great country..

 

Thank God for the country we all live in and thanks to the Vets of all our wars for keeping it safe and free.

 

God Bless our troops around the world , I had three Uncles that fought the **** at iwo, and a few of the other islands during the war , they all came home , and never ever spoke of the fighting , way too intense!!! I served in the Air Force for 4 years in the late 60's and have a 22 foot flag pool and fly Old Glory daily, Merry Christms and take care ,,,,Sam

 

I did'nt hear any mention of Dec. 7th on the news today, either.
I'm sure the PC police don't want to offend any of the little babies out there.

Thanks to the vets, past and current, and the future, too.

 

First, we were bombed with bombs, THEN TOYOTA'S.

 

I have a friend who was there-he said all he can remember was the smell of burned flesh...God Bless our vets.

 

The Emporer's revenge, I guess.

God Bless all who served our country, and those who serve today!

 

Thanks and God bless all Veterans and their loved ones, we owe them more then we can repay!

 

Thank you, VETERANS and current Service men and women.

 

My grandfather actually lied about his age so he COULD join! **** wouldn't happen today, nope.
