Still waiting for the apology from our now esteemed friends - guess that will never happen.

Maybe not as a nation, but you should see all the wreaths and other 'memorials' left in the USS Arizona Memorial by Japanese citizens. It's a sobering sight.

This wreath was placed by visiting Japanese school-children. There were others out of the frame of this pic, as well as flowers and wreaths that had been tossed into the water around the Memorial.

On September 1, 1923, Japan suffered a devastating earthquake that killed 143,000 people. In a matter of hours the United States sent a convoy of ships with medical supplies and more than ten million dollars in aid. The Emperor sent a famous five word cablegram to the White House: "America, we will never forget." Eighteen years later, on December 7, 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, killing 2800 Americans. Japan forgot.....we will not.

I am so glad you brought that to my attention. Thank you, Jinxy! It’s good to know that they have respect for our loss.
