Well, that’s great! Glad they could come see you! Enjoy their visit!

[luvie]

You’re very welcome. I thought it was interesting that they were found after all these years.

Here's a pretty good drawing of the event....

Good morning, Pro ((HUGS))

I’m sure you are off to enjoy your day but this was the soonest I could get back. Dang work got in the way.

No snow in my area. In the mountains to the west maybe.

We’ve been have quite a bit of fog this year too.

I read before that there were some kids as young as 16 (probably younger if they lied on the papers).

Well, I’m listening to Christmas music trying to get in the mood...for wrapping presents. Dropping the cards in the mailbox on the way home. Got that shopping done? ;~}

Hope you have a warmlicious Wednesday.

My dad was on the deck of the USS Arizona on that fateful day...He was setting up chairs for a church service when he saw the planes...he later was in politics and was a council member (mayor pro tem of Dallas)......
He finally wrote his story with a history professor at North Texas University and I'll never forget the passage when
he was asked during the pandemonium a day later Who was in charge ? He said no one and the professor pushed and my dad
said “Well you did whatever you were big enough to do “.
What a generation.

Great art work, I have never seen that one!

[ColdOne]

Never forget. I have been to the U.S.S. Arizona as child, even then I got goose bumps at the memorial.

I remember Pearl Harbor; I was eleven years old when the Nipponese attacked!

Thanks Kathy!

Good morning, beachy...((HUGS))...boy did we get storms big time. The temps started up on Friday, peaking at my house on Saturday night at 47 degrees! We had really high winds, some getting up to 118 mph gusts, with others getting sustained winds of 40, 50, 60, 70mph. Between the high winds and LOTS of rain starting Saturday evening and continuing thru Sunday afternoon, lots and lots of snow is gone...melted and blown away.

Thankfully the rain stopped, but the wind continued thru Monday and still some BIG gusts thru Tuesday. The good thing about this is that all the main roads got dried out because of the wind and still today they are clean pavement and dry. More winds predicted today and possible snow Thursday. We start winter all over again...more idiot drivers, fender benders, etc. I don’t remember such weather since I’ve been up here.

What a generation, indeed! Thanks to your father for his service to the Nation!

Nice picture. That’s a Japanese Val in the foreground.

I went in the Navy in 1944 and trained as an aviation ordnanceman and aerial gunner.

70 years and flags still at half staff.

May God bless and protect America from the scourge we are now suffering through......the enemy within.

THANKS to all who have served and are serving this great nation!

Today is my birthday-I was born 20 years after the attack. Hard to believe when I think that 20 years ago from today the first Gulf War was already almost a year past. Anyway, I have often wondered if I was per-ordained to end up becoming a career sailor with a birthday like that.

Good morning, Ma ((HUGS))

wow! boy you did have a rough time. I have one question...

I thought this more idiot drivers, fender benders... was an unheard of event up there where everyone is suppose to be experienced in snow driving. What the heck?

[HiJinx]

Your last photo is a duplicate of one I took several years ago...

I find it amazing that 70 years later, it is still leaking.
