<<S>> to all who fought and died at Pearl Harbor at the battle which brought America into one of the greatest, if not, the greatest war in history.
At about 7:55 AM, a single bomb hit the deck and plunged into the forward powder magazine of the Battleship USS Arizona, BB-39, and exploded. The blast killed 1100 men, and her captain. Today, they still lay entombed in the Arizona where they fell.
I found a very short, but moving poem reading a book a while back, and it can sum up everything American's have sacrificed in all of America's wars:
“When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave ours today .”
