imagine if a great leader - one unlike we had ever seen in our lifetime - had the foresight to build a wall and make Japan pay for it.. disaster could've been averted.

I wouldn't really call it "living".

I just more or less exist. As I wait for sweet, sweet death to descend down upon me.

we would build a huge wall. And make Japan pay for it. And it would be the greatest wall ever. Huge. That planes couldn't even fly over.

Its called being extremely bitter.

We should just keep a plate of cheese around at all times for the liberal whine.

And what makes it great, is they are pushing more people away from them.

They think writing articles calling Trump Hitler and calling people who disagree with them names actually attracts people to the cause...it does the opposite.

Its apparent Bob never read Dale Carnegie..unless his goal is to get less people to support what he does.

I'm sorry that my politically incorrect words offend you. Maybe you should find a safe space where you won't risk being triggered.

I don't think Dude was the one who was triggered. I don't think Dude was the one who turned this memorial thread into a political shit posting one.

Did I say I was offended?

I find it unbelievably awesome. When you are in a hole, stop digging.

You are so bitter that within a few posts, you turn a thread about Pearl Harbor into a butthurt hijack about Trump winning.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I can only hope this is how Democrats act the next 8 years. It might ensure the next 20-30 years are Republican dominated.

Dead at 99, Pearl Harbor’s ‘national treasure’: If you’ve visited the memorial, you know his face

If you’ve visited the memorial at Pearl Harbor during the past 20 years — and some 1.8 million people do that annually — you’ve seen him and very likely have a photograph with him. Indeed, “Uncle Herb” Weatherwax was likely one of the most photographed people in the world.

He would have been quiet at first, the ancient, gentle man in a green Aloha shirt sitting in a wheelchair, holding a book and wearing a cap decorated in medals. Then, he’d welcome you to the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor’s Center. A closer look would reveal the book to be “Counting My Blessings,” his autobiography.

You might not remember his name. But you would never forget the face of man who for a quarter century has been the memorial’s most beloved volunteer greeter.

He died Monday, at 99. And, as word spread, his face took over Facebook, as tens of thousands of users shared their photographs with Weatherwax. In each and every one, he wears a grin the size of Montana, as he clutches hands, sits proudly, even offers kisses to a few lucky women.

Haven't been to Hawaii yet. My parents were, and they did the tour.

RIP to a great man. Thanks for sharing that.
