In Rememberance of Pearl Harbor Day,

.....December 7th, 1941, the day Japan awakened a sleeping giant and brought the United States reluctantly into WWII that culminated with the dropping of atom bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, a day that will live in Infamy as will our modern day equivalent that happened on 9-11 2001.

The difference between then and now is the liberal Americans of that day held different views as conservatives yet still supported their country and the war effort entirely, understanding that it was indeed a battle for civilization unlike the liberals of today who spend more time defending, aiding and abetting the enemy in the war against terror than they do their own country and it's finest in harms way defending our way of life against radical Islam.

Never so few veterans as now to remember Pearl Harbor day

Today at noon, the old vets will lay a wreath in Annapolis in remembrance of Pearl Harbor. They'll read the names of comrades who survived the attack 66 years ago, but not the ever quickening march of time since last they gathered.

At 15, the number of Pearl Harbor survivors in the state who have died in the past year might well exceed the number able to attend the ceremony. So it goes these days, as the World War II generation ages and exits, taking with it a direct link to an era that grows even more distant with their passing. "I'm the youngster of the group," Clarence Davis said ruefully. He's 84 years old.

Davis has been president of the Maryland Pearl Harbor Survivors Association for three consecutive terms, a testament to his leadership skills but perhaps also to the fact that so many of his fellow members are in nursing homes or otherwise unable to keep the group going.

The group had as many as 300 members as recently as about 15 years ago, Davis said, but now it's down to fewer than 75. continued.

What has been collectively known as "The Greatest Generation" is slowly and sadly disappearing as it painfully watches the country they so gallantly defended and generously built for us today is being frittered and whizzed away piece by piece by anti American elements within our borders and government.

Helplessly watching as our sovereignty and national identity is being surrendered and country occupied without even the firing of a shot by any of our enemies with the exception of 9-11 which many lunatics today still have a problem believing even occurred regardless of the fact that as an attack it was the most visually documented event in world history.
