Pearl Harbor Attack: A World War II 75 Years Commemoration - What Did Veteran Robert Cole Shared? Watch Here!
Remembering Pearl Harbor attack in its 75th Anniversary since Japan attacked the United States in the beautiful islands of Hawaii. The former 17-year-old Robert Coles aboard USS Bagley 75 years ago, now a war veteran visits the World War II Historic Pearl Harbor.
Japan made a surprise attack on the Hawaiian island last December 7, 1941, and claimed 2400 American lives. This by far became the most tragic event in American History that every men and woman, wounded and scarred, stood up to pick the fallen.
In the entire world, there are only at least 150 survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack and most of them traveled to commemorate the event on its 75th anniversary as they think no one might come on its 80th. On the eve when hopes are gone for the present United States with its current political plight, these men and women make America still honorable.
New York Historical Society curator, Mike Thornton said, "For New York, Pearl Harbor was the beginning of galvanizing to become a very mobilized, war-oriented city." He shared that New York Harbor and Pearl Harbor shares common ground with most of the ships that sank, and most of the cargos from the US to the island started in the City.
The Pearl Harbor attack shocked New York much than the rest of the world. "All of the supplies and planes were shipped out of here," Thornton said. And continued, "and we were also a great training destination for troops."
War veteran Robert Core said that commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attack is an event where people, perhaps his age, can unite America. At his age turning 93 next year, the patriotism lives on in him not just looking back to what the United States was but how the country will be in the future.
This is the very value on why America stands as a strong nation from its humble beginning to the present day. There might be thousands of changes in the world but it does not bring along the changing concept of the American Dream.
