Are you flying your "Stars and Stripes" today ???

December 7, anniversary of the "day of infamy", when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Over 3000 lives lost that day alone which was the beginning of a three year, eight month struggle.

Great progress realigning the two nations has resulted while many bitter memories remain and most likely, always will.

Not a day of celebration but a day of rememberance, patriotism and knowing so many signed up voluntarily with full intentions of beating the axis on both fronts.

Times might have been more simple but they were just as stressful. For those who were in the armed forces during that time period really are, "the greatest generation", so named by Tom Brokaw.
 
Yes I am!

Of course I am flying my flag! Right next to my Texas flag. Also I agree with Tom.. They were in deed the greatest generation..

In loving memory of my Mom and Dad, both of whom served in our Armed Forces. This was a day of infamy that should never be forgotten.
Please remember ALL who have served and those serving today. :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:
 
As I watched Tom's report last night, I admired to no end those young men who sacrificed so much.

Even though the survivors were saying it was their last reunion --- I certainly hope some are around to make the 70th.

Thank you for a job well done, gentlemen.
 
AMEN TRL...
