how many of you are going to go put in that piece of shit movie "Pearl Harbor" just like hollywood to trash one of the most important dates in American history.

The ONLY thing to make that movie decent is Kate Beckinsdale. She's super-fine... even with a fake american accent.

I'd drag my balls over a half mile of broken glass just to stink my finger in Kate Beckinsale's butt.

Back on topic.

Here's some pics from last summer when I went to Hawaii with a group of friends.

You can see Honolulu Int'l just off the wing and if you look just north of the airport you can see Pearl Harbor with Ford Island in the middle.

A quart of oil still seeps out from its hull each day.

The names of all who were killed during the attack.

The tour was very informative and sad and left me speechless for the rest of the day.

Always remember.

Rest in peace shipmates.

Nice pics! Would love to go to hawaii someday and see the memorial... At least we know how to remember our men... you guys hear the report of the french community that is about to have a landfill placed where paratroopers landed in Normandy on D-day? Many people are protesting but for fucks sake, who comes up with this shit... leave it to the french...

http://www.evidenceincamera.co.uk/ is the address...it was launched over a year ago but has never uploaded any pictures. i bet there is a TON of pearl harbor pics that could be viewed if these people would get them up :(

Yeah, 5 million pictures but you have to buy a liscence from the people there to use them or look at them. :\

The one concept I can never wrap my ahead around is the term 'Sneak Attack'
Not making light of Dec 7th, but aren't virtually all attacks 'sneak attacks' ? It's one thing to be polite, but it's a whole other thing to call up a prospective enemy and ask them to pencil you in for an early sunday attack.

It's called "sneak attack" when the enemy does it to you, and "surprise attack" when you do it to them.
