i've been to the monument, we stopped along the way to okinawa aboard the USS General Mitchell. then you could see big globs of fuel oil still leaking out of the Arizona, look down and see the main gun barbettes. somber would be my discriptive
I don't watch much local news, but someone told me that there wasn't any coverage on any of the OKC channels. Since I don't watch them, I don't know that to be true.
FWIW, KXII (Lake Texoma area channel 12) just ran a short piece about Pearl Harbor and services being held there.
May all the servicemen lost that day R.I.P. and may the survivors enjoy their remaining years to the fullest extent possible.

Sadly, "Remember Pearl Harbor" will soon have the same impact as "Remember the Maine" and "Remember the Alamo", time marches on
The men that were in Pearl that day were never the same, the entire country was never the same, hell the whole world changed because of the actions of that day directed against the United States by a Country we were at peace with at the time. In a Military reading I, at the time felt forced to read, it was said that the Naval General that planned and executed the mission against Pearl became extremely depressed the same day as the attacks and openly declared that the United States could not be defeated by Japan. That the attacks did nothing more than drive a great Country into War with a grand resolve that was propagated by a cowardly attack.
was at the VA last thursday, saw a WWII veteran there, first time i've seen in a long time, old guy has to be pushing a 100. he was alert and talking with anyone who gave him the time. may be the last one i ever see. imagine,,, our tour of duty in country was 13 months, his was likely 5 years. what a grand old man he is
Really? FOX news and FOX business news has been all over it.

It’s also the day, one year ago, that I put down my best friend in the world, the guy in my avatar. That pic was taken on that day. I’ll never forget that date. of course, I never forgot it as the day the japs attacked us either.
In all fairness, most networks may have waited until the evening news to mention it (when viewership is higher).
Just a thought.
