I reminded my kids this morning. It is something so distant to them, but my Mother always reminded me too.
Thanks Bill, good choice today! ;)

Funny story, not sure if I"ve used it here before. I was at the Arizona Memorial in 1988. They showed us a movie before going out to the Memorial. When the movie was over, the moderator asked if anyone remembered where they were when they heard that Pearl Harbor was attacked. After some interesting answers, a guy near me said, "I was loading bombs on the carrier Akagi. " Talk about your long uncomfortable silences.

Good pic of the day! I had a uncle my favorite out of 6. Anyway he is gone now, but I remember him telling me about Pearl harbor when I was a young boy (he was there that day a Marine). Well his daughter ended hooking up with a Japanese fellow and they decided to get married, this would have been the 70s now. He was not very happy about it, for obvious reasons.
One Christmas about a year later at a family gathering we were talking about different things, he said to me.
Seems like not long ago, though it was. I was killing these people to no end, day in and day out, and they were killing my friends, now I have a house full of them. As a kid it really scared the hell out of me, and I will never forget it.
He did come to know and love the guys family and it all was good. I know in his heart it was something that was hard to live with, though he never let it show to anyone.
