If you're ever able to get to the Arizona memorial, it's a definate tear jerker. Just to think that those men were stuck inside the ship when she went down, man.
For those that gave it all, a very huge
Let's never let this happen again

not to offend any japanese people here in the US, or to cause any hardship.....
but those clouds of smoke over our ships (RIP to our grandfathers who suffered)in pearl harbor don't come close to the american reply.....X2
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.

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.

Always remember the people who gave their lives for our freedom.
We lost 2,500 at Pearl. Just under 300k for the entire war.
I hate to use a cliche, but "Freedom isn't free"

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) ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
RIP to all the US soldiers and innocent civilians in Japan.

Yeah also just think about all the explosives still inside the hull and unexplosed bombs laying in the water too.
It would be interesting to see pictures of the ship from underwater but i don't think anyone is allowed to dive near it.
