Today 71 yrs ago Pearl Habor was attacked by Japan. Then 4 yrs later my dad's next to youngest brother was killed near the Phillippines when his ship was attacked by Japan, he Volunteered to join the Navy when he turned 18 because of Pearl Harbor. I also had a cousin who was a POW & many other kinfolks who were in that war. I was just wondering how many people here have relatives who served during World War Two.

My grandfather (mother's father) served during WWII. He's passed away now and not from the war. I never got the chance to meet him but my mother talks about him all the time. She described him as a good father and very hardworking man. God bless all the men and women who put their lives on the line this day. They will never be forgotten.

Thanks for the input. This day used be one of America's most important dates in history, but I guess it doesn't mean that much anymore.
