For those that gave it all, a very huge

Couldnt agree with you more, I was about 13 years old when i got to go to the memorial with my Mom and step-dad, even at that young age I was, it was a emotional visit there.

If you look down in the water you can still see that it is leaking oil after all these years

Very eerie...

2,500 US were killed in pearl harbor...about 250 aircraft destroyed, and i think 7 ships were sunk... but i copied this from the site i got that "blast" from...

During World War II, for the official purpose of forcing the Japanese to surrender unconditionally, the United States military dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on August 6 and August 9, 1945, respectively. At least 120,000 people, about 95% of which were civilian, were killed outright, and around twice as many over time. These were the first and only nuclear attacks in history. Japan sent notice of its unconditional surrender to the Allies of World War II on August 15.

not to offend anyone, but .. i read somewhere that japan was already formulating a surrender agreement before the atomic bombs were dropped.
that's just what we talked about in class so whatever.
i guess desperate times call for desperate measures, but so many innocent people died(from both sides)
RIP to all the US soldiers and innocent civilians in Japan.
