Dec. 7th, 1941 is as an important date in American history as Sept. 11th, 2001 ... if not more so ...

I still don't like Japs and Germans, in paticular the Japs because of there cowardly attack.,and for what they did to POWs. What happened to the days when you beat a country in a war ,it's yours ? I would have hauled out the emporer and hanged his a$$. Who's idea was it to let him off the hook ?

My Mom was 8 years old, she along with her sibblings had to be very quiet as Grandma and Pa listened over the radio for news of what was going on with Pearl Harbor. My Great Aunt, Uncle and cousin were in Hawaii as Uncle was in the Navy. He happened to be on a ship that was out of the harbor or else who knows what may have happened to him. My Aunt witnessed the planes dog fighting and pieces of the plane fell into the front yard.
From that day forward my Aunt was very jumpy and one can understand why.
I thought their would be more mentioning of this being the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, yet seems other news took presidence over this very important date.
It seems so sad that celebrities having affairs or getting married, divorced can take up an entire program and this event hardly even mentioned. kim Sad

Kimchris -- do you know which ship your uncle was on? Was his CO named Dreller?

My sister-in-law's grandfather was Richard Dreller. He ended up a Rear Admiral, but at the time of Pearl Harbor, he was out to sea. The story is that he and one of his buddies kept telling the brass that concentrating so many ships in one place was a bad idea, and they got so tired of hearing this that they sent him out to sea to get him out of their hair.
