MG TD TF 1500 - Dec. 7th 1941

My thoughts today are with the families of those who are still aboard the "Arizona". 70 years ago they gave all so that we could have the freedoms we have today. And we don't have to speak German or Japanese.
Sincerely,

DITTO X2. Never forget. What a painful day in our history.

The people of Darwin, NT, Australia, sympathise with the families of those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbour.

The same Japanese battle fleet attached Darwin on 20 February 1942, killing over 250 people (a lot less than Pearl Harbour), including many US personnel on the USS Peary.

Through-out WWII many US, UK and Canadian servicemen helped defend Australia in the Darwin area.

Darwinites will never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice during 1942, until 1945.

stuart, My dad was in the initial landing on Guadalcanal. Watched as their support ships (including your Canberra) were sunk. After surviving the Japanese, malaria and lack of supplies, they were finally relieved and sent to Australia. They were initially billeted in a rugby stadium, but the locals would have none of that; many were offered beds in private homes. They were treated like conquering heros. Of course, it didn't hurt that most young Aussie men were in Europe. For the rest of his life, he praised the warmth and hospitality of you folks down under!

My father was flying a PB-Y in Alaska Dec.7,1941 patroling for Japanese attack. Quickly dispatched to Hawaii and spent the rest of the war in the south pacific, shot down twice, crashed once (attempting to pick up his commanding officer that was shot down, caught his wing tip in heavy seas). As he paddled the life raft over to his commander, his boss said "Nice landing Finucane". Always had the highest respect for these men, still salute them for what they did for us.

My father was in the submarines and was based out of Australia for a part of the war. I love hearing his stories of how well the population treated the US Sailors. I think if he had not been married to my mother, I might be a good part Aussi.

Our history does not do a good job of teaching us how the war was a joint effort and many folks around the world were a part of giving us the world we have.

My uncle lost his live at Guadalcanal.

Bless all that serve and keep us able to do the things we love.

May people never forget the sacrifices made to allow us to have the lifestyle that we enjoy today.

Without the American committment to Aus during WW2 I would not be here to enjoy the mateship I experience participating in this forum.

Thanks guys and God Bless.

For anyone who visits Hawaii the Arizona Memorial is not to be missed. I make it a point to go anytime I have a layover with an extra day. Even after at least a dozen visits I still find it a somber reminder and reality check. I made a point of bringing my children there. I'm not sure but I think it made an impression.

Many of our parents lived through that era and I think it's fitting that they've been called the "Greatest Generation".

I see on the tube the other day that there are less than a 1000 of the Pearl Harbor Survivors, out of 70000 originals. Think there are 5 left of the Doolittle Raiders.
