We were at Pearl Harbor for the 60th anniversary. Sad to see how few of the survivors still remained, and odds are, many of those who were there that day aren't around anymore.

As a way to remember the people that have fallen in the defense of our nation. To remember the sacrifices made that have allowed us to have what we have today. And of course there is always this old cliche "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"

So ignorant kids (of all ages) are aware of their country's history.

LOL, how am I ignorant? I'm quite aware of what happened.

Maybe you need to go look at a dictionary!

There you go, bucko!

You are begging for the worst kind of attention.

I'm going to get some sushi today to mark the event.. imagine 67 years from now if our relationship with some Muslim countries turned out so well.

I like shawarma...

Yeah, pretty crazy how quickly the worst of enemies turn into the best of buddies. Although Germany is a lot more similar in attitude and philosophy than Japan.

I wonder how the people who built the railroad in Burma feel about it...

Yes, I do rather like it that we can enjoy good relations with wartime enemies of the past, such as England, Germany, or Japan.

Some parts of the world seem to prefer holding grudges for many hundreds or thousands of years.
