Pearl Harbor

66 years ago today was Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941. We watched the movie Pearl Harbor today in Civics so I thought I would post on here and see what kind of comments it would get.

If you don't know what pearl harbor is then your pretty dumb but basically Japan was sneaky bombed Pearl Harbor and killed a couple thousand Americans and destroyed a large part of the Armed forces. So we got pretty mad and and A-bombed them. =)

But in all seriousness it was a sad day for America but it changed our country for the better. Also the movie is really good if you haven't seen it then you should check it out....

My grandfather served in the Navy in WWII.
He was even on a ship in the harbour when the peace treaty was signed.

My dad lost one of his older brothers on Omaha Beach during D day.

So your grandfather was in Pearl Harbour at the time of the bombing or after it happened?

Sorry about your uncle(I think I have my family logics right). I think D-day is my favorite?(most interested in is what im trying to say) event in US history. WWII is my "favorite" war.

I don't know if they teach it in schools now, but a sad irony of Pearl Harbor is that we built the Japanese military machine.. or that the reason for dropping the bombs on them was partly due to the battle of Iwo Jima. A little spit of rock about 21 square kilometers that saw 20,000 of 21,000 Japanese troops on the island die to keep it and 7,000 allied troops die to take it (with almost 20,000 allied wounded). The casualties to take Tokyo by force on both sides was expected to be incredible given the way the Japanese would fight to the death so fiercely.

A historical irony is that if the Japanese hadn't attacked us and forced an unready US into the war, Germany most likely would have developed the atomic bomb first.
