Popular Post 70mackMB Posted December 7 Popular Post Share Posted December 7 Very special Thank You to those that served in WW2. Eighty Three years ago..... Thank You to all who do and have served. First mention of Pearl Harbor today in the local-state wide news paper is on page A3. That's the best they could do? 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74840-december-7-1941-pearl-harbor-day/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 typical libtard thinking: ff we erase the history, we can claim it never happened. then we can do it all over again and be just as surprised as we were the first time. 2 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Popular Post Red Horse Posted December 8 Popular Post Share Posted December 8 Agree, very little media coverage. There are so many things the new generations don't get. I had 6 uncles that served. Not surprisingly only two that saw combat- the others were typical support troops. My Dad was born in 1907 so too old-was a builder and spent the war cranking out 4 story brick buildings for Ma Bell. As a kid I grew up watching Victory at Sea every Sunday night and reading books about it. Unbelievable sacrifices by so many. And these dummies today don't understand the contribution of American industry....Ford turned a farm into Willow Run that was cranking out a B-24 every 59 minutes! What industry do we have left? 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74840-december-7-1941-pearl-harbor-day/#findComment-563514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 We did not watch the news at all yesterday. We were pretty much running around, but I did think about it kinda hard to forget since it’s the cut up time for Medicare, which I’m going through right now and yes, very much thanks to everyone involved lots of sacrifice unnecessary Sacrifice unfortunately nobody really cares because it doesn’t affect anyone anymore 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74840-december-7-1941-pearl-harbor-day/#findComment-563517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brocky Posted December 8 Popular Post Share Posted December 8 If a serious war starts, America will be SOL as we do not have the industrial capability that we had in 1940 when WW 2 started?? 4 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74840-december-7-1941-pearl-harbor-day/#findComment-563533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GA_Dave Posted December 9 Popular Post Share Posted December 9 I have several family ties to WWII, although none to Pearl Harbor itself. My Dad was too young to enlist at the beginning, but later served with the 1st Infantry Division in Europe. His older brother served on a crew manning a 16-inch gun on the USS New Jersey. Dad's older sister was married to a guy who drove a deuce-and-a-half all over Europe. Mom lost her older brother, a belly gunner on a B-24 that went down in Italy. Her sister married a guy who stormed the beaches at Normandy. I was raised to honor them and the thousands upon thousands that served with them. It is a longstanding tradition that I always watch the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!" every year on December 7th. 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74840-december-7-1941-pearl-harbor-day/#findComment-563547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
