And if you would have taken the time to read the synopsis of Pearl Harbor that I posted, you would have kept your comment to yourself.I almost did keep quiet but couldn't in the face of such appalling ignorance.

I have that Eagle Scout CD.
Y'know, that midget sub was sighted by a US amphibious aircraft, a PBY.
I've been in contact with Lou Contermy sister has visited them at their previous home.
Lou, an "Enlisted Pilot", who had previously survived the USS Arizona attack, was my Dad's co-pilot.
They had to ditch the "Black Cat" PBY, due to fire on board. All aboard swam to a Japanese-controlled island, had native support, and were rescued by PT boat.

Im glad you have the CD and have enjoyed it. Heres my son who made the film with the great man himself before the start of the incredible ceremonies today. At his birthday party in September his doctor said she promised to keep him alive to 100, but has given him a five year extension. He said hell keep returning here as long as he is able and told the press hes like to be here for the 80th, when hell be 100. You know what a kindly man he is. May this good and great man live and be well.

No, but world politicians bring it up when they want to make a point. And you can be sure that Japan won’t forget that any less thean we do Pearl Harbor.

Both Tora Tora and the later version were excellent movies.

Hence why I pointed out that the accounts are closed.
“Hey, we wiped out your naval base in a sneak attack!”
“Hey, we wiped two of your cities off the map with a single bomb each while we were warring with you.”

Yup. The PH account was paid in full with interest by Hiroshima and Nagasaki *and* the resulting destruction of the Emperor as a god requiring worship.

At the New Orleans WWII Memorial, I bought a brick for each of those two PBY pilots—with the “Battle of Rabaul” inscribed.

I listened to the President’s announcement of the attack. I was also 9. I remember it so clearly I can still hear his voice and most of his words in my head. Little did I know how much it would affect my family.
