I would also like to add my thanks.
A Resounding Expression of Thanks to US Armed Services
While fully denouncing the 1941-12-7 event that precipitously moved the US to join The War, Canadians, along with others of many nations, also honour and greatly value the US Service Members' sacrifices in WWII . . The US Armed Services commitment, leadership, and inspiration in that world conflict remains, to this day, of incalculable consequence. . Now, as then, the importance of those same qualities of commitment, leadership and inspiration, on the part of the US Administration also, is truly immense, and it is hoped that no repeat of any events similar to what let up to 1941-12-7 will ever be necessary for those qualities to be fully restored and made evident again.
Canada and most of the world feel hopeful and confident this will be the case.
Heartfelt thanks, America !

My wife's uncle was stationed at Hickam field at the time of the attack. He survived the attack, completed his tour of duty in the Pacific Theater and returned home after the war to marry and raise a wonderful family. He died in 2003 at the age of 83. Like so many vets who went through such things, he would rarely talk about his experiences.
RIP Uncle Matt!
