isn't today pearl harbor day? please never forget what those young men went thru on that day in 1941. we must be as relentless with our enemies as were those in charge in 1941. no quarter asked or given.

Thank you mentioning those vets and slapping us awake...sorry I forgot...both cars are American...I swear

I live in an Army town, adjacent to Fort Benning. Even though it's not Navy, the local veterans groups always keep such dates mentioned in pretty large stories in the local paper. I am glad they do, we all need to remember that Freedom is not free, and the price those many young men paid for our freedom.

The travelling Vietnam war memorial is in St. George this weekend. Ann(wife) and I went to see it. Even though we didn't know anyone on it, it's quite a tearful thing to see. We also visited the real one in D. C. There was one man that went to High school with our son listed among the brave men and women.
God bless them all and sincere thanks for their service.

Yes, we should remember...always. Sadly, we are losing these brave men and women at a very high rate. Equally, many are trying to revise the history of 9/11 and forget the attack that killed more people than Pearl Harbor. We are not teaching the real history to our students today. I was apalled at a recent HS history book's version of WWII. Brief and far less than accurate.

God Bless all those who serve.

Probably THE most significant event in the history of the world. Why, with Germany pushing the curve dangerously forward and their vast cache of scientists that were producing weapons most countries were only dreaming about, a sacrifice that had to be made in order to save the rest of the population of this planet. Small comfort for those that lost their lives we own them all and so does the future.

I did forget, thanks for reminding me also. I remember a lot of dates, but it seems I forget some of the very important ones. May God bless all of our past and present servicemen and women.

I too forgot. I have been to the Arizona memorial in Hawaii and it gives one an eery feeling. Bless those who died for our freedom. Good luck.

Most all of our combat veterans will be returning only to find out that while they were doing our dirty work that they have been labeled TI (traumatially injured) and have been automatically stripped of their second amendment rights. Their names will be entered automatically, to the federal database of 5 million names, by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Only combat who feel good about killing and torture they may have witnessed or participated in will be allowed to exercise their right to own a gun. In other words, the ones who don't confide in a psychologist about combat experiences, won't be automatically adjucated as "TI". This TI status precludes them from passing a NIC (National Instantbackground Check).
We are letting our veterans down by not defending their rights while they defend our nation.

That is just not the case Robert. I have dozens of friends, colleagues, and, in several cases, their children, returning from combat in central Asia. They range in rank from PFC to 4-Star. That list includes the new deputy commander at Walter Reed. None of that group is being entered wholesale in any sort of data base as "TI" or any other sort of coding which would prevent them from owning a weapon. It is possible, that someone could be legitimately diagnosed with a severe enough mental "injury" that he or she is deemed a danger to themselves or others, but those are very, very few and far between. This is the sort of sensationalized nonsense which makes us look more than a little nutty to our fellow citizens when we are engaged n the serious business of protecting our right to bear arms.
