Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Remember Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941

66 years ago - a day which will live in infamny - Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, propelling the U.S. into WWII.

"Pearl Harbor 0755...While the Giant Slept" by Dru Blair

Sunday 0755 hours. Time to wake up the "Sleeping Giant". Battleship Row lays peacefully below moments before Lt. Commander Takahashi's Aichi D3A1 Type 99 "Val" Dive bomber rolls in on Hangar 6 on the southern tip of Ford Island. By accident, Takahashi was the first to drop his ordnance because of a mistake in interpreting the signal flares beginning the attack. Takahashi's bomb struck the water's edge in front of hangar 6 located at 5 o'clock in this picture.
