I can't speak for everyone, but I sure remember where I was that Sunday, Dec. 7th, 1941, and probably you do too.
Our family attented the movie "Pearl Harbor", and I was saddened to see that political correctness has caught up with history; and surprised to learn that Japan 'had' to bomb the U.S. because we had blockaded their oil.
Of course, they left ouw WHY we did that - the Japanese atrocities in China and near countries. I was surprised my kids (now grown0 didn't know about the Flying Tigers, and how we supplied the money and planes for Chaing-Ki-Shek to hire U.S. pilots in 1940. Ah, well. Ours was a good time. And more to come. Norma and I will be at the Class of '51's Reunion in Oct so see you there.
