"What the Pearl Harbor Chaplains were doing at Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941"
Desert Storm lasted for a shade under two months. The attack on Pearl Harbor lasted for a shade under two hours. In the six weeks of Desert Storm our forces suffered 147 killed and 468 wounded in action.
In the 110 minutes of the attack on Pearl Harbor, our forces suffered 2,403 killed in action, 1,178 wounded in action, 640 that were never accounted for; plus, 188 planes lost, 158 damaged, and every battleship of the Pacific Fleet, eight, crippled or sunk plus other ships. Roosevelt, who was never at a loss for words, said it was "a date that would live in infamy." Military leaders said it was the most disastrous defeat that our military had ever suffered in a single day.
The above is an excerpt from an address by Dave Chambers, December 1991, 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor that was delivered to the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces. Click on this line to read the entire address.
On Feb. 23, 1999 retired GySgt. Carlos N. Hathcock II passed on.
In Vietnam Gunny Hathcock had 93 confirmed kills....a true sniper.
Gunny Hathcock volunteered his time to train law enforcement.
Ask any sniper to name one sniper & they will name Carlos Hathcock II.
A true american hero will be sadly missed.
