Jaxfactor904 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) For those who have never been to Hawaii, Oahu specifically, If you ever get a chance visit the Arizona Memorial. Very surreal and it actually brought a tear to my eyes thinking about the brave men entombed there.

Jaxfactor904 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 On a side note, it’s amazing to me how many of the younger generations don’t even have a clue about the significance of this date and June 6th 1944. American history is becoming lost and that should never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American history is becoming lost and that should never happen. The 80th anniversary was a chance for me (mid 50s) to refresh my memory about some of the details. The whole plan by the Japanese and thinking it was necessary to keep the US from meddling in the pacific theater. Then there's the internment of American citizens of Japanese decent, I have a friend who went thru that as a child (in LA) and was telling me about it one time. I don't remember hearing a lot in school about what triggered that, some of it was related to a Japanese pilot that crash landed on an island in Hawaii and was aided by a couple of Japanese people who lived there. Also, the "young generation" generally cares less about some of this stuff than older people, I know when I was in my 20s I might have not remembered the date as easily as I do today. And my parents actually lived thru WWII (residents in Europe fleeing both Nazi and Communist). But they rarely talked about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part that always gets me are the names of the soldiers who survived but had their remains brought back to the Arizona years later so they could be entombed with their fallen shipmates.

American history is becoming lost and that should never happen. It's truly unfortunate but this is the way of the world today. Sure, "old history" just becomes stories written about in books and when you didn't live through it or the immediate after effects, it can lose that tangible emotional value. However, previous generations- mine, my parents, grandparents and certainly those beyond had a respect for history (those stories), that generations today generally don't have because they're either too removed or too involved in gaming, social media etc or a mix of both. Today's generations, in general, seem very self centered and oblivious/ignorant when it comes to history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
