I can't help but think of those individuals who were alive and participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not because it is located in our 50th state, but because of the people who paid with their lives to ensure we still enjoy our freedoms and liberties to this day. People remark on what a special place the courtyard is. The courtyard gets used every day for promotions (I sewed on my chief stripe there), retirements, and reenlistments. Years later, the courtyard was converted to a memorial for those killed and to those who served during the three major wars taking place in the Pacific theater: World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

One of the first bombs to hit the barracks landed right in the mess hall and killed them while they ate. 7, 1941, twenty-one soldiers were killed while eating breakfast. The courtyard was originally attached to the dining facility in the barracks. If the outside isn't reminder enough of the attack, then the Courtyard of Heroes really hits home. You just can't ignore it - everywhere you look there are bullet holes and concrete missing from every part of the walls. They never repaired the bullet holes and chips from the bombs and bullets that hit the building during the attack. The building has been painted numerous times since the attack and major repairs have been done, but a very wise general officer made a decision sixty-seven years ago that visually impacts each and every member of the Air Force who works in the Headquarters building every day. This is pretty apparent as you walk up to the building. In fact, it was the same building the enlisted Army Air Corps members were living in as their barracks on Dec. What I didn't realize was the building I was going to work in was old. My wife and I receive orders to Headquarters, Pacific Air Forces Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, which is co-located with the Naval Air Station Pearl Harbor. I had no idea what Pearl Harbor meant, but I knew it was important because my Mom and Dad always talked a little bit more seriously and in hushed tones.įast forward twenty years. I grew up in a military household and one of the terms I heard discussed was Pearl Harbor. These are words or phrases that evoke memorable feelings for those who lived during these events or know of the great sacrifices of the men and women who lived or died during these times in American history. I compare the DoI bots to CSGO and definitely consider them pretty smart.Pearl Harbor, "Remember the Alamo," 9-11. Once that is done, you can run back to an ammo cache and switch class to an engineer with a bazooka, snipe the artillery or fuel dump.

Once in the objective you can camp the doorway or stairway with the MG. Just run in a particular corner in each map, mow them down with the machine gun, and slowly crawl your way into the objective. Though they have made the game a lot hard now since they nerfed the bazooka's by making them deviate from where you're aiming now at long ranges. machine gunner, and an engineer with a bazooka. Because you only really ever need 2 classes in this game in stronghold. I can basically solo the American stronghold campaign by myself if I needed too. If you play the solo practice modes, its super easy to learn how they behave. I would disagree with the bots being smart, but the bots aren't as bad as they are in other games. MacArthur 1st RB:The bots are very smart by the way, you won't regret it.
