Hopefully there will be a commentary from Dr. Ron Paul commemorating the anniversary Pearl Harbor.
After 66 years, some survivors wonder if they are the last reminders of the attack that led the U.S. into war.

August 6 would be a much worse day, especially if you called it a money "nuke". :)

I am a collector of antique military relics and my collection has grown to over 4,000 pieces spanning from the American Revolution on up to Viet Nam. One of my favorite pieces is a silk Japanese battle flag that was captured by an American Navy group and they wrote their names around the rising sun and wrote the battles they had been involved in around the edges. The first battle they listed was "Pearl Harbor". I always check my collection room in the morning before I start my day and I make adjustments to the security systems, heating and air systems and adjust the humidity control and this morning I stopped and looked at the flag knowing that all those years ago today, we sustained an attack that shook the very foundation of our society. It suddenly dawned on me that even though there have been no bombs dropped on American ships lately that we are still in the midst of an event that will shake this nation to it's core.
My Uncle was one of the first men into Tokyo.. He is the definition of a true Ameican patriot. Every generation of my family has done their part to build what we have but somehow their sacrifice for this land has been belittled. What they fought for seems like an antiquated idea in our current societal pitfalls of nation building, excessive taxation. lies, media distortions and just a lack basic human decency. I watched helplessly as my father spent his last years having given up on a country that he was wounded three times for. Some of his last words to me were "I am sorry I did not do more to fight the mess that you are being left with". Staring at that flag this morning just kind of made me feel like every veteran and every hero in our history was hanging his or her head low for what we have become and it made me realize that my support for Ron Paul and his message of constitutional liberty goes beyond just myself and my family. This message and this campaign is our chance to rescue our history and our national identity. We were attacked on December 7th, 1941 but we have truly been in a war for a long time.
So I thank God above that when my turn comes to cast my vote..That I will have the honor of voting for Ron Paul and that many years from now I can look at my children on my deathbed and say "I gave everything I could to get Ron Paul elected and restore our country....Fight to keep it". So let us remember our history, let us remember our true american heroes and let us remember our humble beginnings. Keep your faith up for our future and keep your pride in our past and with just under a week to go until our own tea party, fight with everything you have to take this land back. History will judge us by what we do and years from now you may be remembered as one of the many who helped restore our land!
