Thought you might find these photos very interesting - what quality from 1941.
Pearl Harbor photos found in an old Brownie camera stored in a foot locker and just

recently taken to be developed.

THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM A SAILOR WHO WAS ON THE USS QUAPAW ATF-11O.

Pearl Harbor

On Sunday, December 7th, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor , Hawaii . By planning his attack on a Sunday, the Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to catch the entire fleet in port. As luck would have it, the Aircraft Carriers and one of the Battleships were not in port. (The USS Enterprise was returning from Wake Island , where it had just delivered some aircraft. The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga and USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the United States .)

LIVE FREE OR DIE: I LOVE THIS COMEBACK... 

One of my sons serves in the military.
He is stationed stateside, here in California ... He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere they go. 


Telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight, not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them too. 

Then he told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that several people were in the line ahead of him, including a woman dressed in a burkha. 

He said when she got to the cashier, she made a loud remark about the U.S. Flag, lapel pin, the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always wear it proudly, because I'm an American.' 

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. 

Then, a Gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. 

It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. 
But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq , so you can straighten out the Mess in YOUR country, that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid.' 

Everyone within hearing distance cheered! 

IF YO U AGREE... Pass this on to all of your proud American friends. 

I just did.
