December 7 1941 was a terrible day for those at Pearl Harbour, but for the rest of the free world it was a blessing in disguise as it brought the American super power in to the war and garanteed the ongoing freedom for the oppressed and threatened people of Europe, Africa, the Near East, the Far East and Australasia. The price paid by the WW2 generation should never be forgoten, I for one am very thankfull.
All the best.
