On 17 December 1941, the forces of the Japanese Empire attacked American Forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, killing 2,402 Americans, of whom 57 were civilians. This was the single most devastating attack on Americans in a single day until the Muslims pulled a similar sneak attack on 11 September 2001 when 2,997 people, mostly innocent civilians were killed, of whom 2,624 were American citizens. 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.
