    A moment of silence, then drinks to the memory of those unfortunate but brave souls so spinelessly attacked at 0755 hrs on Dec 7th, 1941.

    Especially those never retrieved from the Arizona.

    A - Men AJ.

    A side note, my mothers birthday was Dec 7, she was born in 1913 and is now in a better place.

    She was in a nursing during and after 9-11. As the first year anniversary of 9-11 approached she told me she was going to be interviewed by a TV station. At that time her mind had been slipping and I didn't believe her. However it was true. A local station found a person with the birthday of 9-11 and took her to the nursing home for my mother to give some perspective as to how the event on her birthday had affected her.

    Her mind was clear that day and she did an outstanding job. I felt guilty about not believing her and very proud about how she handled herself.
