Not just a movie, not just a website... 04.20.2001
While many this summer will be going to see 'Pearl Harbor' the movie, there maybe few that actually know exactly what went on that day, December 7th, 1941 and the effect that it had on so many people's lives.  When we started this website we started it to inform people about the upcoming film, along with the little things we knew about the history that the movie was about.  During this time, however, we have learned a great deal more from many people who have sent in their stories and information on how they were actually at Pearl Harbor or who have relatives who they have heard stories from on the subject.  These people -- these heroes who are kind enough to share their experiences with us are the ones who deserve to be remembered.  We hope that the movie will accomplish this.  We also hope that this website may do the same, in what little way we can.  In these next few weeks, we will try to do just that, by telling their stories as they have sent them to us; through writing and through pictures; and give you out there interested in knowing more a chance to learn from them and maybe even get a chance to talk to them and a historian who has been grateful enough to provide us with his knowledge of his father's experience as well.

We will begin this Sunday with a redesigned, fully organized history section and bring you a new article from historian Roger Hare in his series 'Pearl Harbor Remembered.'  The article will be about the battle of Honolulu and will be explained through the eyes of people in the middle of the attack, both American and Japanese and how things aren't always as people expect or often hear.

So we hope that those of you who don't know the history of Pearl Harbor, join us as we start off our dedication to these heroes, and for those of you that may already know about the history should also come back because, you will definetly be learning things that you haven't know before.
