This may make me unpopular..But Pearl Harbour was a catylist that brought America into the war in Europe. This action saved us in Britain who were only just making the trip. With the USA in against the Axis countries (which included Japan) we managed to defeat Hitler and the Japanise , remember the Italians were in on the "other side" and we in the U.K. appreciate the difficulty that the USA had in sending American soldiers of Italian extraction to fight against their "native" country. The sacrifices of the USA Soldiers , Airmen , Navy and civillian personel are not and will never be forgotten here in the U.K. If in any doubt come over to one of our rememberance day parades where we salute all the nations who helped us through those most awful years. "Lest we forget" is not just a cliche in the U.K. We were only 21 miles away from destruction and we mean it. Just to add some song content. Every folk music club I visited over the weeks in early November (11/11/1918) had songs about the two world wars....we keep it alive that way too.
