December 7, 1941. We must never forget
Just like Septmber 11, 2001, we must never forget. I took this picture on Ford Island while on vacation in Hawaii. We rented this 5th Gen convertible and this started my transition from old school to new school Camaros. Ford Island is a very solemn place. If you visit Oahu in your lifetime, I highly recommend the USS Arizona Memorial and a trip to Ford Island before you do anything else on your trip. It puts everything in perspective.
God bless America.

Well done, Dan.
This year December 7 falls on a Sunday, just like it did in 1941.

My grandfather fought in WWII, served as a Sailor on mostly oil tankers in the Pacific. Manned small cannons during his service, and even had to fight off some Japanese Zero's.
He is the one that sparked my interest in history, and the reason why I studied it in college. |

I've seen the memorial several times. It's a great way to pay respect to those that have sacrificed it all.

Great post! Soon the WWII vets will no longer be around like my dad who served in the Navy. Take time to thank them if you meet one. God Bless America and all vets. Thank you!
