I don't know if all you folks have access to "The Military Channel" on your cable system. I pay for the digital service for that, History International and National Geographic. Any ways on Friday, Dec 7th starting at 6 pm The Military Channel will start running back to back documetaries on Pearl Harbor.
This will the the first Pearl Harbor Anniversary since my friend Sue's father died. He was on the hospital ship Solaris on that day. If you've ever seen the film of the Arizona lifting out to the water when the magazine exploded, that was taken from the deck of the Solaris. I would always try to stop by there and tell him what they running that day, just to let him know that someone remembered what happened on that day.....I'm going to miss that little tradition.
Yesterday on the german discovery history channel were a documentary about a jap's who did not surrender till 1974 quite interesting docu he didn't believe that they lost the war.
Unfortunately do not have the Military Channel yet. Have several other including the History Channel that we voraciously watch. Ah maybe someda
I can understand your feeling regarding your tradition. I can appreciate that lost feeling...

Darlene, I was was on holiday in Hawaii in September 2007, and visited 'Pearl' . It really is an awesome place, it is hard to imagine the horror and suffering that took place here. Moose.

The thing that hit me most on 9/11 was: this must have been the rage, horror and confusion that my parents felt on 12/7.
ohh Moose, I wish I were at Pearl right now....Its rainy and damp here in Ct and my friend Arther Itis is barking. An afternoon in the sun with a drink would feel really good.
In the many things I've seen about Pearl Harbor on television, I think the thing that most amazed me was that when they couldnt raise The Arizona, they cut off anything left above the waterline. The portion that was cut off is stored somewhere on Hawaii. The reverence for that ship was such that during metal drives, they did not collect those large pieces of metal for re use....
I would have been handing you the kleenex because I would have been bawling away.
That was a wonderful answer the father gave her. Instead of going for the scientific reasoning or stifling her curiousity he put it in a way she could grasp the sadness there maybe make her want to learn more about that day....
