This day lives on in infamy...In 1941 (Four and a half years before I was born) Pearl Harbor occurred. So many lost so much in that surprise attack. I am not a military guy, but things like this choke me up. It is unbelievable that so many so often resort to aggression and war for so many stupid reasons. We are in two wars now...it is hard to understand the complete why and wherefore, but here we are.
And fearing more and more as time goes on.....
Being here in Jacksonville, there is a lot of military here, and they are trying to get this area as home port for a new nuclear aircraft carrier...and one of the strategies is to avoid the 'Pearl Harbor" possibility, as the rest of the nuke carriers are in Norfolk...so as to not put all the eggs in one basket kind of thing.
Interestingly, the U.S. aircraft carriers were out to seas rather than in Pearl Harbor when the attack occured in 1941, and those warships became such an important force in WWII for the allies in the War in the Pacific.
