A salute to the people who lost their lives on the day of infamy 83 years ago, to those who saved lives that day and those who died in service to this country.
I can say The Pearl Harbour Memorial is a humbling and eerie place to visit as i am sure the airfields ( i feel they get lost in the rememberance) are as well, but i never made it there.
Not to take away from 7 December, but when you mentioned the bullet holes I thought Of a church between Freehold and Englishtown NJ, Tennent Church. If you go inside you can still see the blood of a soldier on one of the pews there. He was wounded in the Battle of Monmouth just between those two towns during the Revolutionary War. So close, history in my back yard. I lived a few miles down the road from this area on Tennent Rd. and seeing this as a young teen it has always stuck in my memory. I don't think to many people are aware of this Historic Church.
