December 7th, 1941

To Americans it means, "The Day That Will Live in Infamy!""

To Japanese it means, "The Day that Japan Dealt a Blow Against Western Aggression!"

To my Father it meant, "I didn't fight the Yellow Bastards in WWII, so my Son could drive their pickup truck!"

Just watched Baghdad ER the other day. Watching it you really feel grateful for what the men and women of our armed services go through to protect us.

I get upset when some people relate sports to war...I have done both...they are nothing alike

Our soldiers are the bravest in the world and they deserve all of our respect for what they do:yesnod:

Dec. 7th 1941 is when it started.

Aug. 9th/6th 1945 is when it ended.

All three of those dates should live in infamy.

Michael Bey sucks ass, and Ben Affleck is the worst actor ever!! Well maybe not as bad as Josh Hartnett but still pretty bad. BTW, Michael Bey sucks ass!!

The lynchpin of modern history.

On a much less important note....how bout Ben vs. Matt in the movie selection/career path thingy?

Matt makes Saving Private Ryan, Ben takes Pearl Harbor.

Matt gets the Bourne series, Ben does Gigli.

I'm just sayin', they are both very wealthy, successful young men, I just can't help noticing one gets roles that rock, the other gets poop.

Is it the actor or the choices they make?

I took my Mom to Hawaii in 1993 and we were at the Arizona Memorial.

During the Park Rangers tour, I asked if it were true that if you served on the Arizona that you could request burial aboard when you died.

My Mom, (and the rest of the tour group) didn't know this and was surprised to find out that it is true. Park Ranger Divers will take the interred body and place it in gun turret #1. There were over a dozen sailors that had requested it.

She asked how I knew this fact. I told her it was an episode of Magnum PI! And people say that TV isn't educational!

Thank you to the brave men and women that gave their lives defending this nation.

Maybe it depends on what you are willing to do to get the role. *casting couch*

And apparently, Ben is not the performer that Matt is.....

[Jangler]

movies....really?

after visiting the tinderbox this thread could go all sorts of ways.

RIP to those that perished.

The USS Arizona Memorial has 7 windows on the side, 7 on the top and 7 on the opposite side. In a pertetual 21 Gun Salute!

Elvis Presley while in Hawaii filming Blue Hawaii, performed 3 concerts. The money from the 3 concerts were donated to help build the memorial.

The USS Missouri (Big Mo) (The ship that the Japanese signed their surrender on.) Is moored at Pearl Harbor and it's bow faces the USS Arizona. Forever stading watch over the USS Arizona and her men.
