A day of terror..and infamy.
Pearl Harbour Day!!!
I’m at the National Observance at Pearl Harbor, set to begin in 30 minutes, and will send a live report after. I’d say about 1,000 people are on hand at this hour with more streaming in by the moment
One addition to PBYs. Besides patrol they conducted offensive operations as select groups were Black Cat operations. They also did many air sea rescues. It was a great aircraft. My uncle was a flying chief.
When we lived in Eugene Oregon and had a house, I put out my flag every December 7. In Eugene remembering the day would be a micro-aggression
Very few mentions of a very important day for untold thousands of veterans. Just another memory to shuffle down the forgotten history path. It is right in line with D-Day, Koreas Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, Vietnam's TET 68. Just a bunch of old farts that can relive their private battles which in a few years no one will give a crap about as the survivors all die. Salute to survivors and their families of those who may or may not have anyone to remember what it took from them.
A day that shall live in infamy….
