70 Years After Pearl Harbor (Rare Color Video of the Attack)

 

Seventy years have passed since the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.  December 7, 1941 was, as President Roosevelt described it, a date that will live in infamy. 

Seventy years.  A lifetime ago. The ship still sits on the bottom of the channel there, sunk by Japanese bombs all those years ago.  The bones of most of its dead are still inside the ship. I recently saw a television show that showed a submersible robot sent into the wreck to film inside the ship.  There was a closet with its door open, and inside hung three or four Navy officer's jackets, still on their hangers.  They looked imminently wearable.  Strange that they had survived the conflagration and seven decades under water. God bless the men and women who died in the attack, both military and civilian.  May we never forget.
