My wife took this picture at the Pearl Harbor Memorial. The elder gent is a survivor from the attack on Pearl Harbor, who went on to have a long and distinguished military career, and I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to sit and visit with him for a little while.
I can't help but wonder what would have happened if his generation would have had to face the enemies of the day with the libs and mainstream media we have today. Not to mention most of Hollywood that can get any face time running down all attempts at a military victory, verses the many entertainers of his day that gave of themselves to entertain the troups. As a country, we've lost alot of spine, cohesiveness, and decency in the last few decades.
