Every war that has ever been waged by mankind has always spurred on the stories and legends of lost or stolen fortunes. In fact, there isn’t a country or territory on the face of this earth that doesn’t have at least one legend concerning treasure as a result of military conflict. World War Two was certainly no exception. (1)

The NAZI UFO Conspiracy (full Video)

One of the most interesting research facts that I have found has to do with the massive German and NAZI connections that seem to turn up around every corner in every area. Be it Government, space program, CIA and Intelligent Community and our own government I seem to always run into German or NAZI involvement.  One of the most apparent connections has to do with advances in science and disc-shaped flying machines. Here is a great video covering the latter. . . EDITOR 

Pearl Harbor Survivors Return After Death

Those who never served would never understand.

 

“A Date that will Live in Infamy”

HONOLULU — Lee Soucy, who lived to be 90 after surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, is finally back with his shipmates 70 years later.

Soucy passed away just last year. On Tuesday, seven decades after dozens of fellow Sailors were killed when the USS Utah sank on Dec. 7, 1941, Navy divers took a small urn containing his ashes and put it in a porthole of the ship.

The ceremony is one of five memorials being held this week for servicemen who lived through the assault and want their remains placed in Pearl Harbor out of pride and affinity for those they left behind.

“They want to return and be with the shipmates that they lost during the attack,” said Jim Taylor, a retired Sailor who coordinates the ceremonies.

The memorials are happening the same week the country observes the 70th anniversary of the aerial bombing that killed 2,390 Americans and brought the United States into World War II. A larger ceremony to remember all those who perished will be held Wednesday just before 8 a.m. Hawaii time — the same moment the devastating attack began.
