"We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God!" - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

[cowpuc]

Sunday morning 74 years ago

and all our lives were changed.

A monster with an evil heart,

and intentions so deranged.

 

The Harbor's light was dimmed and hurt,

as the monster had decreed.

The Arizona still lies there,

her tears of oil they still bleed.

 

The human loss hurt most of all,

Two Thousand And Forty Three gone.

The monster grinned and thought he'd won,

but brother he was wrong!

 

He forgot about what free men do,

when their backed against the wall.

It probably never occurred to him,

the hammer of justice was about to fall.

 

Our nation arose together,

and linked arms with those abroad.

To show the world around us,

our love of freedom is no fraud.

 

A heartfelt thanks to all of you

who served our nation proud.

Your love of country and freedom's cause,

is still understood both clear and loud.

Puc

I visited the Site for the first time in September. It is an amazing place to visit and reflect. A veteran of that day was there signing books. Doug

Thanks to our WW2 vets. My dad and father in-law included.

Now I have to say when I first read the headline, I thought it was something someone said about these ISIS @#$turds
