    Thank you. Our local paper, the WPOST, is in the throes of a labor dispute and could not be bothered to run an article about one of t he seminal events in US history. Of course, of late, they usually pass by any mention of Dec. 7, 1941.

        And checking the other papers, NYT, WSJ, Washington Examiner, Daily Wire… not much there either.

    God bless the men and women who serve (or who have served) in the armed forces of the United States.

    I had a friend whose grandfather took over command of the Arizona on December 1st. He did not survive.

  5. Thank you.

    I was starting to think everyone had forgotten.

    My grandfather was not at Pearl Harbor, but he was in the U.S. Army stationed in the Philippines, which the Japanese invaded on the same day.

    1. A person I knew years ago was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. One day he recounted what happened, and those of us who heard it were so sickened, we didn’t know what to say.

      1. My grandfather avoided the Bataan Death March. He had gotten injured during the evacuation preparations and was evacuated on the last hospital ship to leave the Philippines prior to the U.S. surrender.

        The people on that ship had a pretty harrowing time getting to Australia, but nothing like the experiences of those who were left behind.
