| #6 Gave the US a reason to save the world again. Ironically the only nation that doesn't resent us for it is Japan. |

| #4 Had the great opportunity to be hosted by a USMC Col at Schofield while competing in a swim comp back in the late 70s. Visited Pearl which was stunning, and watched as some very pissed off USMC guards escorted disrespecting furriners off the tour. Definitely left an impression that remains to this day. As an aside, if anyone hasn't to been to Punchbowl on Oahu, definitely go. |

| #3 Every Pearl Harbor Day they show the FDR speech to Congress on Dec 8, and I get to see my Dad. He was Secret Service and a part of the Presidential Detail from 1940-1946. He is the tall guy standing in the doorway to the right of the dais. He spent the entire war traveling with FDR who called him Red (hair) and was at Warm Springs when he died. His memory of Dec 7th was interesting, He was off duty and with my Mom at a Redskins game at old Griffith Stadium. In the days before pagers or cell phones, he said during the game the public address system started announcing the names of Generals and Admirals who were in the stands, asking them to report to their headquarters. Dad said it started with just a name, then several, then a list and the people in the stands became visibly aware. He said at that point he tried to call the White House switchboard, couldn't get through, and he knew something huge was going on. |
