My favorite war series watched with my Dad

in the 50's. The best music of all! Sure its

propaganda - but its good propaganda.

My father was there on the Pennsy. He saw the Arizona get hit. He rarely ever talked about the war-but he watched this show on a regular basis and talked bout his beloved Pennsy.

Can hardly believe 70 years

I watched this when I was a child with my Dad sitting next to me when he was home from a Untited States Merchan Marine Sea Voyage. He served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific during WWII. This Victory AT Sea series is the closest memories I have of my father being home. So I will always watch this series. My Dad is dead now and I'm 61 years old myself. I for one shall not forget the treachery of the Nippon Empire on December 7, 1941. Nor will I forget those who served our country. Thank You ALL!

The Japanese were the first to deploy aircraft carriers into battle and the first to lose a whole bunch of them. You can start a war, but you can't always finish it.

The music always stirs up my blood!

December 7, 2010: Remember Pearl Harbor!

[johnwerneken]

how super lucky my side was: most of the g.d. worthless battleships sunk at the very beginning! had we had the chance to strike trhe first blow, and sunk the same sort of targets (worthless ships except in as lots of dead fellow countrymen tends to irritate people), perhaps we would have lost the war.

It might have been a cheap victory for Japan, but not as cheap as it was for the U.S. to get Hawaii. Just saying ...

Mrobert21 is, sadly, correct. The main value of this "documentary" series is nostalgia, for us who watched it as kids. Of course, there's the Rodgers score.

Thank God the Carriers were out that day.
