Pearl Harbor Day

Eighty years ago today, 2,335 Americans were killed and 1,143 wounded in the sneak attack by the Empire of Japan on Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i. The USS Arizona was lost with all hands. 

Here she was then.


And here she is now, still a fully commissioned vessel of the United States Navy, with her full complement aboard.


We will remember them! Lest we forget!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
