Remembering Pearl Harbor

12.05.2018 by JDMackenroth //

December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, a naval base in Hawaii. The quiet morning was interrupted by the sounds of explosions and machine guns in the unprecedented attack on American soil. Y’all may or may not have seen the movie with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett playing fighter pilots in the action packed thriller retelling the story of why we retaliated with such deadly force. I just wanted us to stop and remember all the lives lost that day. 

 

As fighter pilots scrambled to their planes, the kamikaze pilots shot at them. As explosions went off, doctors and nurses rushed to help those in need, with no regard for their own lives. The triage units overfilled with the mortally wounded sailors and pilots of Pearl Harbor. The pilots that successfully made it into the air fought off the pilots, either shooting them down, or scaring them back to Japan, in aerial battles known as dogfights.

 

Today, we have a friendship with Japan. They are allies, rich in culture. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, we have yet to use another atomic bomb. The radiation lasted for 35 years, and the effects were devastating. The victory came with a high cost. 

 

We have established bases on Okinawa, and Iwo Jima, two popular battles for WWII and continue to be a major force in the world. However, we need to remember the men and women who sacrificed their lives to make that happen. We call America the Land of the Free Because of the Brave. This historic day is one of the reasons why. Even Japan knew not to attack the mainland, because they could expect a gun behind every blade of grass.

Rochelle Martin is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Shayne Rivers.
"Dear friends
The last few days have been heartbreaking for my family. Jason, my husband of 20 years, my friend, and the father of my children, passed away unexpectedly Friday morning. He was a selfless server to his family, friends, and the community around him. He was a veteran of the Marines, a 4H leader, a baseball coach, and an explorer.
We have been surrounded by family and friends and appreciated the loving support. We are all deeply grieving the loss of such an amazing father, husband, and friend. There is so much more to say but at this time words fail to express the loss and sorrow."
-Shayne Rivers

This account has been created to help Shayne with any financial hardships after the passing of her husband, Jason. The money given through this account will go directly towards the well being of their children. Thank you so much for your love and support! ALSO, please leave comments for the family: Share memories & stories. Together we can bear this heartache.
With Love & Prayers,
Shelly Martin
