[QUOTE="PhoenixM3, post: 16332526, member: 140283"] I doubt that there’s any members here that were present when we were attacked 78 years ago today, but you may have known relatives or friends of friends who had firsthand accounts of that day’s event. I hold a soft spot in my heart for the Officers, Sailors and Civilians who were lost that day, and although I can’t claim that I joined the Navy in ‘84 due to this tragedy, I became increasingly aware of lives lost in battle at sea. On this day in 1941, my Mother-in-law was in elementary school and witnessed the Japanese fighters flying in low over the island. Some planes were so close as to view the pilots inside. In one instance, a pilot waved a warning to the teachers/students in view to get down, or take cover. Fortunately, that side of the island wasn’t the target, so no loss of life occurred. Never forget that this attack dragged our country into a very bloody, and expensive war, and resulted in (globally) approximately 80 million lives lost. [/QUOTE]
