Thank you, for serving.

Soldiers that enlisted, put off "life" for four years to serve.

Some gave up the [rest of] their lives, in a combat zone.

Yes, the "Sleeping Giant" was awakened. And, the Lord blinded the minds of all the Japanese war planners and executors-several military men through the years have commented that the war would have taken at least two years longer if the fuel tanks for the ships and planes, sitting on the top of a hill that every bomber had to fly over on the approach to bomb the ships and planes, was completely overlooked. After the war when the US obtained access to the Japanese war plans, none contained any mention of the fuel tanks and their importance.

Yeah, I remember. A Gung HO veteran? Can't say. But I proudly served. I enlisted in the USAF during the cold war and basic training was 12 weeks. The base I was stationed at in Germany, constantly had war maneuvers. I was in the medical corps and saw too many plane crashes and had to retrieve what was left of the pilots. Pearl Harbor, unfortunately is becoming a faded history.

The "media" has forgotten as well. Nothing in the local papers......
