    Remembering Pearl Harbor, 76 Years Later

    DECEMBER 7, 2017,

    Today marks 76 years since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
    Several American ships were destroyed on that day “which will live in infamy” on December 7, 1941.
    The USS Arizona still remains sunken along with the remains of some of its crew members.
    According to the US census, 2,403 Americans were killed in the attack. 1,178 more were wounded.

    A good reminder to al Americans and especially those "Snowflakes" and "AntiFa's" that claim America is bad. Before they were born their great grand parent fought to keep America free and independent allowing them the rights they have today.

    Both my parents, plus a swarm of uncles, served in WWII. One uncle who served on Iwo Jima has PTSD to this day. No one of my family got a deferment for bone spurs in their feet.

    Fought a war on two fronts thousands of miles away and kicked arse, even after a sneak attack.

    When libs ask what American culture is just tell them it means being a winner.

    I know Hillary Clinton was rejected by the Marines, but did Bill Clinton really have bone spurs, or was that Obama?

    Since the accurately named Department of War became the inaccurately name Department of Defense in 1948 the American culture became losing. But yeah, the Greatest Generation were winners.

    I've heard bone spurs are extremely painful, I'm sure your family felt blessed not to have bone spurs.

    I'm very proud for your family and I have the highest regard for my father and cousins that proudly served in the service of our country. Amongst the millions that have served I also did my part in the late 50's and 60's. It's sad that some of those that served didn't impart their patriotism and commitment to service to their children as we see today.

    Only if your dementia omits September 11, 2001. History repeated itself sixty years later. The question is will it take less time in years the next time America is attacked again?

    The only physical problem William Jefferson Clinton had was that wide yellow streak down his back. Obama never even signed for the draft as required. Perhaps because Obama aka Soetoro claimed Indonesian citizenship. How else could he apply and get a Fulbright scholarship.

    Seems rather obvious special snowflake right wingers claimed eternal innocence when they ones dealt with a preemptive attack.

    Yes the preemptive attack allowed to take place knowing full well that terrorists were in America training to attack the US especially after the 1992 WTC attack.
