A Day That will Live in Infamy



Sure, I'd be interested. My father was in the Army Air Corps during the war.
Flew radio on UNARMED C-47s.

Don't forget about tomorrow Ladies and Gents.  It's a day very near to my
heart.

One of my sailors today I asked her--and she makes me feel old...
18yrs old if she is a day, not a moment older--I asked her what was
significant about tomorrow.  She had no idea.  I can say it is sad
that someone in this day in age can give you a complete rundown of
every season of "Friends" but doesn't know what December 7th is,
however I cannot FATHOM (wink wink) the concept of someone serving
their country in the NAVY and not know about Pearl Harbor.

So my young sailor is going to give her shipmates a 20 minute oration
on the significance of tomorrow.  I am not that mean, but the Chief
Petty Officer that also heard her say she didn't know what it meant,
IS that mean.

I have some very heartwrenching photos of the day of the attack if
anyone would like to see them.  If it's one or two I can email them
but if it alot I will throw them up on photobucket or something.

Chris
