Survivors gather at Pearl Harbor
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) -- Survivors of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will join sailors, community leaders and guests on Wednesday for the 64th anniversary of the assault.
The crowd will observe a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m. -- the moment the attack began in 1941.
A U.S. Navy ship will honor the USS Arizona, which lies submerged in Pearl Harbor with the bodies of hundreds of sailors still aboard. The Hawaii Air National Guard will fly F-15s in formation over the harbor.
The Navy's chief uniformed officer, Adm. Michael G. Mullen, is scheduled to address the crowd along with Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii, who saw and heard Japanese planes drop bombs on Oahu as a teenager in Honolulu.
Navy reservists from the USS Ward, which fired the first shots of the war when its crew spotted and sank a Japanese midget submarine, will also be honored.
The December 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and other military bases on Oahu lasted two hours, leaving 21 U.S. ships heavily damaged and 323 aircraft damaged or destroyed.
It killed 2,390 people and wounded 1,178.
When I watched the movie, Pearl Harbor. I was very pissed off at the Japs and wanted to kill Japs.
But that was a long time ago so I will not be doing any of that.
That is one of my favorite movies. Very Sad.
Tora Tora Tora aired again today. Excellent movie!
Never forget Pearl Harbor??
Shoot, people have forgotten about Sept.11 already, let alone Pearl Harbor.
don't forget ......................."dead or alive"
