Pearl Harbor Was No Gem... [ U.S. And World War Two; December 7th 1941 In Hawaii, Before It Was A U.S. State; Kind Of Short] Comments

How u rhymed in pond with blonde wow, u turned a historic political topic into an engaging interesting poem with your wit. Thumbs up. So Nice to read from your pen again, I hope u too will review my latest poem titled, 'For all cheese chums'

I have read that there were government officials who had been apprised of the horrible mass murder of the Jewish race going on in Germany and apparently they thought sharing this knowledge with the American citizens would not stir us to action. I hope they were wrong in this assumption about the character of American people. We may not be warmongers, we may not want to send our young men off to war, but neither do we {I hope] countenance doing nothing when defenseless people are being starved, maimed, abused in horrid ways, and slaughtered.

I remember Pearl Harbor very well. I was a few months short of age five, on the NYC subway with my mother, going to meet my father at Carnegie Hall. Someone got on the train and announced the attack, causing consternation among the passengers. When we arrived at Carnegie Hall my father, a WWI veteran said sadly, This means war! That day stuck in my mind because I had never seen so many people so upset.

Thanks for this write about Pearl Harbor which was perhaps the best known war zone during WW II coupled with its historical significance.
