Need I say more? Media is focused on B.S., Al Franken and too much other dumb crap to even mention this. I know a fellow who's dad died during the attack, and never knew his father because he was born several month after. I understand things change, in fact my biggest customer is a large company from Japan, but we still cannot as true Americans ignore once what our country was like and what it has become today.

Yep, my father in law served in the Pacific at the end of the war. At that point it was a "clean up" operation. It was so bad the Japanese would sneak in at night and eat the garbage the GI's had thrown away. He was ordered to shoot anyone who "sneaked" into camp, unfortunately he did. He would cry during Christmas, I guess a huge price was paid no matter what side you were on. If you have a chance read up on the Japanese military during WWII. Everything and everyone was expendable, their own troops were considered to be a tool of war and had the same value as a bullet or shovel. POW's were considered even less than that. I know someone who's dad survived the Battan Death March, POW's were bayoneted to save ammo if they fell by the road. I don't think this generation understands or want to accept history, they just want to re-write it.

My Granddad was at Pearl Harbor the day it was bombed.
He was a navigator aboard an ocean going freighter at the time.
He and his crewmen received several medals for rescuing military personal that day.

My Dad was a fresh Army Lt. who arrived Dec. 1, 1941. He talked with me only once about the attack and it was hard for him. He was in the Pacific for the rest of the war but would never discuss it. To the day he died he was not able to forgive the Japanese and would have nothing in his house that was Japanese mad.
