My dad joined the Navy after that. Served on a ABSD (advanced base sectional dock) helping to repair ships damaged in combat. He spent the war on the island of Guam. I hear it's nicer there now. Back then we were still cleaning up from having just moved in.

I was going to post this but saw yours so as long as it's posted it makes me happy. As in any war theres death and tragedy. This was beyond that, a true crime of cowards.

It was indeed a sad day, however, the day they elected Obama was pretty sad too. For Pearl Harbor day, the school Obama's kids go to served an all Japenese menu (by coincidence). I don't mean to take anything away from the memories of those who served and lost their lives at Pearl Harbor, or those who survived. But I get so angry at what is happening in our wonderful country.

your not alone jst. it both saddens and angers me when i see our countrys direction.
