Attack on Pearl Harbor Remembered at Baltimore Ceremony
from: William Hughes
The US Coast Guard Cutter “Taney,” (WPG37), sits in Baltimore harbor, as a museum/memorial, and is known as “The Last Survivor of Pearl Harbor,” according to the program notes prepared by the “Historic Ships in Baltimore.” See, http://www.historicships.org/ On Dec. 7, 2009, the “68th Anniversary” of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a moving noontime ceremony was held on the “Taney”; it included the dropping of a memorial wreath into the harbor. For background on the attack on Pearl Harbor, see: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bal-md.pearlharbor07dec07,0,740736.story and http://plasma.nationalgeographic.com/pearlharbor/
WWII was a massive disaster for Humanity! Check out: http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/statistics.htm It also introduced the “Nuclear Age.” Carl G. Jung warned in “The Undiscovered Self: “The evil that dwells within man is of gigantic proportions...If...the unconscious...puts a weapon in your hands, (a Hydrogen Bomb), it is aiming at some kind of violence...Fear of evil which one does not see in one’s own bosom but always in somebody else’s checks reason every time, although everyone knows that the use of these weapons [of Mass Destruction] means the certain end of our present human world.”
This video is dedicated to the memory of Harry C. Agro, U.S. Navy, Seaman First Class, who was one of Baltimore’s finest sons. He was a POW of the Japanese for close to three years during WWII. Go to: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/5060
