Not Forgotten

Something that gets overlooked in talking about Pearl Harbor:

The men who survived still went on to fight a war.  Many of them immediately.

Seeing the mighty battleships laid low like they were and then going out and fighting the war anyway.

That's bravery.

Especially since only two of those battleships sunk didn't rejoin the war after repairs.  They'd gotten a first-hand lesson in how vulnerable their ships could be, and still they served.

This tanker's hat is off to those sailors.
