Post by Navvara Ultor » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:35 pm

A day that shall live on in infamy....

Pearl Harbour Day!!!

Or more like it "Japan attacks clueless US forces on Pearl Harbour day"

What have you done to celebrate/comemorate this historical event? I've been busy watching "Pearl Harbour" movies all day. How about you?


Groovy, I still have time to fly a couple of sorties over BS row. ^:|

cheers

Happy Pearl Harbour Day everyone
See you on the flipside.

See Lindbergh and Ford, neither of which was very harsh towards that German regime. If I remember correctly Ford and Hitler had a corespondence going for a while...and I think that's one of reasons Lindbergh had a stint in the Pacific and not the European theater too.
