And most of our kids haven't been taught this in school. But they know where to go to get an all expense paid sex change operation.January 6 was much worse, so I’ve been told.
Years ago, I worked with a guy who was on the island and in the service when the planes flew over the island before hitting Pearl Harbor. He and his fellow service men saw them and thought it odd but just thought it was some sort of training mission. On another note, my father entered the service on December 7, 1942. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and spent six months as a POW. He was rescued by Paton and his men. On a very odd twist for you older guys, he was held in Stalag 13. He always thought it funny and said it wasn't quite like the TV show. He spent a year in the VA Hospital after his release. True story.
Must have been on the Oklahoma at Pearl.There was a WWII veteran at the deer camp that I went to. He was 18 and at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. As he was 18 and lowest rank, his bunk therefore was at the bottom of the boat. When his ship got hit, it flipped over. Long story short, he and his bunkmates knew the water was rising in the ship as the tapping that was occurring by all the sailors below him to alert people that they were trapped (whose bunks were higher up in the ship) started to stop (they were dead from drowning). The water started to come into the air vent into their room and was up to their necks. He said they all confessed their sins and made peace with God as they knew they had about 15 minutes left. At that point, they heard a blow torch above them and got cut out with about 10 minutes before they would have drown.
Same guy was also in the battle of Midway. Said his shift ended during the battle and he went up on deck just to get some fresh air as he was down in the boiler room for 12 straight hours. Said for the next 30 minutes and just sat on the deck and watched with amazement the utter chaos occurring. He said the noise of non-stop shelling, massive explosions of ships blowing up, fighter planes everywhere with tracer bullets. He said take the July 4th New York City fireworks display and multiple it by 100 and then have it last for hours and that is what it was like.
I remember WW2 well, my uncle was in the Pacific . Thank God he came home safe. They were the greatest geneation, who gave us the freedom for this generation to become the crybabies of today, who expect everything for nothing.
