    "The Lost Tapes: Pearl Harbor" - Sunday 9PM (2100 hrs)- Smithsonian Channel
    "Pearl Harbor: The Truth" - Sunday- 10 PM (2200 Hrs) History Channel
    "From Here to Eternity" - Monday 800PM (29000 hrs) - American Heroes Channel
    "Pearl Harbor : The Heroes Who Fought Back" - Wednesday 10PP (2200 hrs) American Heroes Channel
    Pearl Harbor: Into the Arizona" and " USS Oklahoma: The Final Story" Streaming on PBS

    Fibber,

    Thank you for this most important reminder. Let us never forget. Those who lose a grasp on their history will almost always repeat it. I will hold all veterans and families affected by Pearl Harbor and the war close to my heart this day.

    Tora Tora Tora is the better Film about the Attack ( Okay, the Sinking of the Oklahoma has more Scenes ).

    @ All i had create a Destroyer Alarm Sound and add this in CFS2 Sound Download Location. Its the Sound of the USS Ward from Tora Tora Tora.

    My take away from the latter movie was that Ben Afflek won World War Two with some minor assistance from a hand full of other guys.

    Good afternoon,

    I am watching Tora, Tora, Tora right now, and I hate the Pearl Harbor movie. The brother-on-brother love story is ridiculous and sick. It also lost me at "P-40s can't outrun Zeroes, so don't try, we're just going to have to outfly them in our hula shirts."

    The B-25 takeoff from an angled-deck carrier was also a nice touch, and I'm sure Army fighter pilots flew B-25s just for the heck of it.

    I was watching "tora Tora Tora" when I thought to add this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Miller
    "De Oppresso Liber"

    I was going through the wiki page for the movie, its interesting how they modified the T-6s to look like the Zero and Val. You can still tell that they are T-6 Texans. Its also interesting to see how many Zeros are still around. There seems to be a lot of replicas as well.
