"Pearl Harbor was a place where he headed to risk his life to defend his country."
Defending your country from what?? The USA? You all were on the offensive, not us bucko!
The only mistake is the carriers were out to sea!
Since it ended with two big bombs, ignominious defeat, and occupation, do ya think?
Dawn on a Sunday morning,
Dawn on the wide blue sea,
Hawaii, isle of sunshine, lay so peacefully.
Then from the sky without warning,
The vultures swarmed to attack.
Hiding behind their "peace talk,"
They stabbed our boys in the back.
Remember Pearl Harbor, every hour, every day that we live.
Remember Pearl Harbor, and the crime we can never forgive.
Through the sweat and toil,
Through the blood and tears,
Keep this battle cry ringing in our ears:
"Remember Pearl Harbor," let this song keep us strong through the years.
Remember how we used to call them our "little brown brothers?"
What a laugh that turned out to be.
Well, we can all thank God that we're not related
To that yellow scum of the sea.
They talked of peace, and of friendship.
We found out just what all that talk was worth.
All right, they've asked for it, and now they're going to get it.
We'll blow every one of them right off of the face of the Earth.
Remember Pearl Harbor, in the air on the land and the sea.
Remember Pearl Harbor, here's a job we can do, you and me.
Keep'em flying high clear across the pond.
Make our dollars fight, buy another bond!
Remember Pearl Harbor, day and night, pray and fight, carry on!
Carson Robison, Bluebird Records, c. 1941
The Japanese war colleges trained on bombings and tactics that including surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor from the 30's... it was no 'accident'.
Oh wait, I thought he was referring to the Michael Bay movie of the same name.
I wonder if we'd get the same admission had the US and the allies lost to Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
Abe promised he would send Fiske, who was a volunteer at the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, some $500 each year and asked him to lay two roses at the memorial on the last Sunday of each month, one for him and one for Fiske, and to play taps on his bugle.
Fiske kept his promise for more than 10 years before he died in April 2004, Abe said.
I remember seeing these two men on the History Channel, and just this morning I saw a Pearl Harbor article in the local newspaper which made me wonder if either of them was still alive. It saddens me to hear that Richard Fiske is gone - but he has plenty of shipmates to keep him company.
Their first clue?
Ya Think!!??
In my opinion Hiroshima and Nagasaki were Pearl Harbor repaid with compound interest
9-11 Terrible mistake, last surviving Muslim says.
I wonder how long it will take Muslims to understand that Sept 11th was a big mistake.
They took down 2 US buildings, we took over two Islamic countries.
If you think about attacking us again,you muslims got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?
Well, do ya, punks?
If there is a next time, I bet we will take Iran and Syria. Go ahead, make our day.
