Today is Pearl harbor day; a day that made history 70 years ago and some say was the first 9-11event in the US.
Many of the original survivors are too old to meet and march in a parade so they are disbanding due to age and the low numbers.
Did you have a relative that survived the bombing?
What would the US do today is this happened again...or could it happen again with our technology?
I don't have a relative that survived the bombing but I imagine if this happened again and it very well could, that I'd hope we'd be prepared. 9/11 was a prime example that with all the intelligence and information we have that unless it's shared we still are very vulnerable.
I think there are steps in the right direction with the national alarm system but since not everyone has access to the same forms of technology, it might be harder than we think.
My great grandfather just passed away last year, but he lived only 100 yards away from the harbor and was a police officer at the time. He ran out of his home when the bombings began. He was on the cover of Life Magazine for being the officer directing traffic in the busiest intersection in the nation. I wish he could still be here to tell his amazing stories.
Thank you for posting about this; I haven't seen many people talking about it today.
One kid of mine was born on infamous day and that means a lot to us; hope and care for this Nation. Great Hub! Stacie!

Pear Harbor, the Tonkin gulf incident, the september 11th attack, this clash have the same common denominator, a U.S. attack leading to a "justified" international intervention to an invasion or war. Many of you will refute the theory but, unfortunately it passed the theory level to being...

Another reason that I distrust conservatives, (GOP) domestic spending is pinch penny, while they turn a blind eye to DOD wasting money like it grows on trees. Add this to their cover up and subsequent embarrassment, and I ask what makes THEM the sacred cow? As a progressive type, I consider THIS...

After 70 years, why do we still call the attack on Pearl Harbor a sneak attack? It was a time of war and we knew that the entire Japanese navy was sitting 100 miles west of Pearl Harbor. Admiral Nimitz warned of an attack but Washington, with their infinite wisdom said the Japanese wouldn't dare...
