Never Forget!!

I was thinking about this date while I was driving today. No one has mentioned it on any newscast that I've seen or heard so far today. It used to be noted prominently every year. I hope I just missed some recognition of what this date represents.

Thanks for posting.

My Pa H L Hall had enlisted in the US Navy in 1939. He was on the USS Washington Battleship in the Atlantic,they were searching for the Bismark. On this day in 1941 my Pa put in for a transfer to the West coast naval fleet. To any fighting combat ship available needing a 3rd class Bosun mate. In less than 30 days he had orders to the USS Wasp aircraft carriet in the Pacific. He fought in every major Naval battle n was on 3 ships that were sunk while in the Battles !

It never happened, because google doodle is ignoring it. As a matter of fact they took down the Christmas tree balls that have been dangling for the month of Dec and just left the plain google text there. Betch the google balls are back tomorrow

"wokeism" promotes the erasing of history.



respect to those who have served. I visited Pearl Harbour, sadly the Arizona was closed to visitors. It was the one thing i insisted we do during out trip to Hawaii.

Was to Pearl harbor a number of times . Was a sombre feeling sailing in past all the markers still there .

You know I watched the news on the 7th.
On several channels.
IF anything was said, it was less than a 15 second spot.
That speak horribly of us as a Nation.

I think we want our kids and grandkids to forget.

To Forget the price that was paid for their freedom.
To Forget the cost in human lives.
To Forget the suffering and sacrifices.
To Forget where they come from.
To Forget those who came before.

In all the days of my life, I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!

I have been to Pearl Harbor. Went through the museum, rode to boat out to the Arizona Memorial. If you finish that with dry eyes, me thinks maybe your heart is not working. Horrible start to a horrible thing. Pray we never have to endure that again.
