I posted this because in watching the news this morning on both FNC & FBN...they had not one word about this most historic tragic event. The present American TV News media is lost at sea...IMHO!!! Fox News should be ashamed of themselves!!!

Thank you again! My great uncle was on the USS Honolulu the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. We had a number of other friends and acquaintances who were there as well. All of them are now long gone, but we remember their sacrifices. The Hollywood rewrite of this tragic event will likely distort its meaning and the sacrifices made.

We have newspapers from the time period that show that the Roosevelt administration went on a witch hunt against the top Navy Brass after Pearl Harbor, blaming them for the damage that was done and the people who were killed.

Admiral Kimmel and General Short were scapegoated for the losses at Pearl Harbor. Each knew a Jap attack was imminent & prepared defenses as best they could with the intel they had.

Their descendants are trying to clear their names to this day.
