切记珍珠港事件之血腥歷史

 
八十年前的今天上午八时 日本军国主义的机群偷袭美国海军夏威夷珍珠港海军基地也是太平洋战争的爆发点, 為第二次世界大战的重要转捩点

 
珍珠港事件有二千四百零三人阵亡 一千二百多人受伤 五艘战舰沉没 一百多架机被摧毁
 
此事件立即导致美国之参战并在日本投下两颗原子弹 而使二次大战得予结束

 
由美国為首之同盟国於一九四一年十二月八日至一九四五年九月二日期间 发动了太平洋战争 范围遍及太平洋印度洋 东亚及东南亚各地区之战争

 
八十年后的今天 我们要继续深切地记住歷史之教训 日本军国主义自一九三七年开啟对中国大陆之侵畧 数千万中国人被日军屠杀,如果不是美国的原子弹 可能歷史就会改写

 
今天世界局势仍然混乱 日本执政当局对於当年犯下之罪行仍然不去反省 公然祭拜当年之战犯 其行径令人不齿

 
我们呼吁世界各国领袖 必须面对目前之国际争端 以和平手段解决问题 决非使用武力 现代之科技大战会使人类遭受万刼不復之后果

 
同时也要奉劝日本朝野人士要对他们在战争中犯下之涛天大罪 时刻反省


Today Is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day


On December 7th of every year people all over the world come together to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. 1,178 people were injured in the attack which permanently sank two U.S. Navy battleships and destroyed 188 aircraft. The attack led the United States to a declaration of war against Japan the next day and thus, entering World War II.


The war lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of countries worldwide and directly involved 100 million people from thirty countries. The war was the deadliest conflict in human history. It resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities.


Japan aimed to dominate the Asia Pacific region during this time and aggressively invaded China. Millions of Chinese lost their lives during the war.


The United States finally detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and 9th , respectively, of 1945. That was the military action that brought the war to an end. 


Eighty years later when we look back at history, the tragedy was done by politicians and those in the military.


We are so happy that a Pearl Harbor survivor will be in attendance at the 80th remembrance ceremony this week. Ike Schab who is 101, was helped by his daughter and many friends who wanted to make sure he would be there.


Today we are also facing so many challenges around the world. We need to urge all our leaders to solve the global problems with diplomacy and not go into war.
