    Of course I was not alive in those days. Even my mother was just a little girl in Finland. I wonder how other countries felt WWII would affect them.

    I can only imagine the anger towards the Japanese at the time. I certainly understand the patriotism that must have been felt by all non-leftist Americans.

    We owe a great debt to those great Americans who fought and (some) gave their lives for this country.

    Sadly. From reports I have heard, and read. World War II veterans are passing at about 1000 per day.

    All of us owe OUR LIVES to those who saved the World, and made TODAY possible to be called AMERICANS.

    They are leaving us at a very fast rate now, getting faster day-by-day. I miss my dad and all those 'dads' that were Vets when I was a kid. They came home and just got on with it. They were most definitely grateful for the GI Bill which changed everything for those that came home.

    probably the best ever attack scene. also credit for showing the carnage at the Naval Hospital as the staff is over whelmed by the wounded and dying
