My son is a Marine who fought in combat with the Navy SEALs a few years ago as an intel officer. He was inspired to become a specials forces attached Marine because he worked at a retirement facility in high school and spoke every day with WWII veterans. He also visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial and met with a survivor. They are only here for a few more years. Thank you all. You will never be forgotten.

It was like a little ol Rector set Me: I understand that reference

What does that phrase "Thank you for your service." mean? I have a brother who is a vet and a retired, 40 year employee of the VA. I have spent this day trying to get him transferred from a nursing home 60 miles away from our town. He was sent out of town by the VA due to him contracting Covid19. He was sent to the nearest covid ward. He is now disease free. I have spent this day trying relocate him to his home town so that we could care for him daily. The VA, his PCP, and the nursing homes have shown no intetest in his care. He is sitting alone in his room and isn't even receiving physical therapy. I went to pick him up and was told if I remove him from the hospital without his doctor's approval then he would be liable for his five weeks stay. It is a disgrace to treat anyone this way. It is especially aggregious to treat a 86 y.o. vet this way. My son drove me to visit my brother due to my numerous and serious health problems. I will no longer blurt out the thank you comment until I know that our government is treating him right.

A couple of years ago, I watched a Pearl Harbor Documentary on Netflix. Part of the video had an interview with the actual radar operator who was on duty that morning and had first viewed the aircraft that were approaching from an easterly direction toward the island. Although the airbase at Hickam Field was expecting a flight of six, brand new B-17 bombers arriving from the mainland that morning, the radar operator said that there appeared to be hundreds of "blips" (which are raw data radar returns) on his screen. He advised his supervisor, who then passed that information on to the commissioned officer (Ensign) on duty that morning. Unfortunately, for some reason, it appears that information was never passed on to higher command. I tried again to get that Netflix documentary a few weeks ago but it's no longer available. For anyone who wants to seriously look into the many aspects of the attack on Pearl Harbor that have never been adequately addressed, there is a wealth of information that can be found. You can begin by doing a Google search regarding the Admiral that was relieved of his command, after he flew back to Washington and spoke personally with FDR in the White House, concerning how dangerously unsafe it was to have most of the Pacific fleet bottled up in the harbor, as easy targets. In addition, having already broken the Japanese code, it was known that the Japanese fleet was already at sea and was preparing for an attack. It wasn't a matter of "if" but, "when", that would occur. In fact, the Japanese had created a map of the entire harbor, which showed the location of each ship and what type it was. Furthermore, I have a close friend, who will be 105 on Jan. 30, 2023, and the oldest living veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack ( Dec. 7, 1941) . In the past week he was honored for his service, along with 5-6 other WWII veterans, with a ceremony in New Orleans. Over the past few years, I've had numerous conversations with him about the morning of that attack. He has repeatedly mentioned the fact that "everyone" knew that an attack was imminent. He was also very familiar with the incident in which the Admiral was relieved of his command after having spoken with FDR.

All of them are war heroes... We thank for their service wholeheartedly.

The story about the radar is told in the best and most historically accurate movie about WWII, "Tora! Tora! Tora!". No CGI in this movie, 1970.

What a great guy. 🇺🇸

God bless our veterans , 80 years later 🙏

Fabulous story. True heroes!

Today the Japanese are also commemorating this battle and the Japanese soldiers who participated in this attack. Maybe they are very proud of it.

So this guy knew privates Eliot and Lockhart? Can someone find the source of that old B-17 footage?

Now I know when was the pearl Harbor attack was happen. What is ridiculous is I came to this youtube clip after the news that Japanese congressmen honored kamikaje pilot at their national temple(a.k.a. yasukuni) on 7th of Dec, yesterday. is that a intentional action of japan?

Liking the pretty girls. Respectful and charmng. I miss those old guys

RIP to the all Americans that were killed in the Pearl Harbor attack.

How the generation changed it's amazing now we have 18 years old who crying if they don't have 1000$ iPhone back in 1941 18 years old want to go to war........

Some people say they were “suckers and losers.”

The US Knew there was a threat for their asian bases. Seeing how quickly Japan was able to conquer island after island, country after country. It was something they knew would eventually happen. However what the US failed to realise was the determination of Japan to Conquer and the lenghts at which they were willing to use/make to achieve that goal. The use of Kamikaze Pilots already nearly pushed America to the brink seeing inhumane tactics being utilised by the japanese and the eventual attack of one of their largest bases in Asia, not only surprise but led america to believe not only were the japanese brazen and bold but was a super huge threat to conquering southeast asia which then pushed america to the brink of severe retaliation.
