How many of you have forgotten Pearl Harbor Day?

That happened 7 years before I was born, but I had 2 uncles in the military that day, and have a Gold Star for one of them, and was taught from a very early age never to forget what they fought for. I have read so much about that day, I actually feel like I lived it.

I did allot of reading and research on the 5 Sullivan brothers as well!

Je me souviens. I remember. That was 18 months before I was born but I still honor the memory. My dad served on the liberty ships and mom had several Japanese-American friends who were interred so I heard a lot of stories. A visit to the Pearl Harbor museum a few years ago assured me that my tear ducts still work. FDR said "today is a day that will live in infamy".

I had not yet been born. However, it was a subject often discussed between my parents and older siblings. My eldest brother enlisted in the Navy as soon as he was old enough, thankfully by that time, the war was almost over. Both of my parents worked in the aircraft industry, building the planes which were so instrumental in the successful outcome of the war.

My husband was a small child on that fateful day. He too remembers his family and all they went through during the war years. Rationing of food stuffs, gasoline, and tires. He remembers scrap drives in order to recycle anything metal which could be used toward the war effort.

America and the allies formed bonds that were thought never to be broken. We will never forget!

I remember every year, despite I wasn't born 'til '47. There was a great movie made in '99 with Pearl Harbor as the primary premise, Snow Falling on Cedars, set in the Pacific Northwest just before it happened. It gives a personal show of what happened here next. Sam Shepherd stars.

I haven't forgotten, and whatever people in the USA are taught in school, the USA did not declare war on the axis powers as a result of the attack. For some reason Germany and Italy declared war on the USA on 11th December 1941 after the Japanese bombing of the US fleet in Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941. FDR then stated that the USA was in a state of war with Germany and Italy - no mention of Japan.

It is very difficult for Europeans to understand why the USA makes such a fuss. The USA came into WW2 pretty late in the day. No US towns or cities were bombed and destroyed as were cities and towns in the UK, France, the Soviet Union and Italy and Germany

Let's not forget that Hawaii did not become a US State until August 1959.

I was not born when Pearl Harbor occurred, but I grew up with a dad who remembered very well. I've read many accounts of that day and I have not forgotten. A flag is always flying in my yard for all the men and women who have served in our military.I have written numerous stories of those who've shared their experiences with me..That attack was here on our our own soil and it's not an event we ever should ever forget.

I was going to be 5 that month. I remember hearing about it on the radio and my parents talking. My daddy, and others his age, nearly 30 enlisted right away. It is big in my memory. in early 2004, my first husband, our children's father died on that anniversary. When I remember Pearl Harbor, I think of Bill too. I hope he is peaceful and pain free and aware he is still loved. I hope the same for all who were lost and their families. It is true it was a day which will always be remembered!

I wasn't born, but my dad served in the Dutch army alongside the Americans. Oh, how the Dutch loved America and what she stood for. I could picture in my mind that he must have been crying when that day happened. My dad really had so much pride concerning the US. That is one of the reasons why we ended up here. He always wanted to live in the USA. He was a POW in a Japanese prison camp for almost 4 years. He suffered so much and the stories he had were amazing.

Shadow, this is for you. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military/july-dec00... I won't forget either.

On 6 and 9 August 1945, America won the war in Japan, and set the prisoners free. Amen to that.

I can't actually remember because I was negative fifty-one years old at the time, but I sure haven't forgotten that tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day. I don't doubt for a second that that generation was the greatest one, either - my grandfather was part of it, actually both of them were, and both served.
