'Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.'

Remember...
We salute all the men who gave their lives on that sad day 70 years ago, and offer up a prayer for their families and friends.....God bless you all.
Awee! That song is so sad and so many men died. In the picture is a few ships that were big and highly sophisticated which brought a big thing then in maratime history...
When the 7th of December 1941 was over, it was clear that the Japanese had delivered a tremendous blow to the United States. Five battleships were sunk or sinking, three destroyers were wrecked, a minelayer and target ship had capsized, two cruisers were badly damaged and many other ships needed repairs. Hawaii-based Navy and Army aviation was also greatly diminished, feeding a sense of defenselessness and defeat that greatly exceeded the realities of the situation.
That is a very pretty song, and a sweet post. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, yes. :)
