I don't do many posts, so I hope I have this right. This is a cherished photo of my Dad, who was in Pearl Harbor in 1941 during the attack.

Thanks for indulging me this, my one vanity for the year. FrankR

That’s an amazing photo! Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for posting it I wish there was something on the side board about the attack. This should not be forgotten.

[SandRat]

You got it right.

Great photo of your Dad.

What a great photo. Somehow reminds me of James Dean.

A great vanity for today - thanks.

"Somehow reminds me of James Dean."

Now there's one I never even thought about...probably just the white t-shirt thing...but he was just "Dad" to me.

Thanks, Frank

What a great photo. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you Frank. I have waited for someone to even mention that this was Dec 7. “We will never forget - a day that will live in infamy.” Yet, it seems that people have forgotten. I will not. I remember it well because it changed my life forever.

Nice.

Was he in the military?

Great picture. A day that needs to be remembered and thanks to all who have served

[forgotten man]

Where was he from 12/8/41 until the end of the war?

[ArrogantBustard]

Nice. My late Father in Law was there ... USN Medical Corpsman.

It was, he said, a "very busy day".

I can’t say one way or the other about his kids, but your dad’s car was dripping with class. What’s that, about a ‘39 Packard?

[FrankR]

I don't know for sure...I wasn't born yet. But I think he got out and came home (Georgia) in 1942 or thereabouts. He married my Mother in 1943 and insofar as she wasn't in Hawaii, leads me to that educated guess. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

These are the sort of things I wish now that I had asked him when he was alive.

God bless him. Thanks for the picture.

Sharp hand salute to a true hero and American patriot!

[piytar]

Oh no, another vanity!

Wait, a good vanity. No, an EXCELLENT vanity. If all vanities were this good, nobody would complain about them.

Thanks for sharing the photo of your father!

This should not be forgotten

Many of us have not.
