WHY WAS THE PEARL HARBOR THREAD REMOVED

Pearl Harbor, Never Forget !!! I watch Tora, Tora, Tora on the 7th of every December. Yamamoto was right when he made this statement at the end of the movie. Now in June I will watch Midway.   

A day in infamy.... 

...never said better...never forget

My Father was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 the day that it was bombed.  He was on the heavy cruiser Helena.  The Helena was anchored next to the Oglala which was struck by a torpedo plane.  He suffered severe burns to his back as a result.  The Helena  went on to fight several Naval battles throughout the war and was ultimately sunk in the battle of Kula Gulf.  He always had a baseball hat that had "Kula Gulf Swim Team" printed on it.  He was in the ocean for hours until being rescued by a US Naval destroyer (Radford) .  He passed away in 1997.  I miss him allot. 

My dad tells of how he heard my grandfather tell his mother the news .

frenchbrit, I think it's because they are working on the new version of LL...

I posted on the "issues" thread about this

If you page down to Darin's post, he asked problems to be posted on that thread 

Sorry I guess you can't read back posts. They are all gone. I'm not sure who or why they would do this.

80 years ago today my Dad was at Pearl Harbor and just about to the hour when it was attacked. If you read back through this thread you will find some accounts of what he witnessed and went through. Incredible.

For anyone who enjoys history and doesn’t mind longer audiobooks/podcasts, I highly recommend the podcast Hardcore History, “Supernova in the East” series. Which discusses World War II in the Pacific. 

6 part series, each episode is between 3 and 6 hours. 

The discussion on Pearl Harbor is one of the most detailed things I’ve found on the attack. Happens at about the 3:25:00 point in Episode 2. Really makes you understand what happened and makes you feel the collective rage that Americans felt on that day.
