Let us never forget what today is.
On this day 68 years ago over 2,000 Americans gave their lives.

12-7-1941

Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

To all surviving WW II veterans, my heartfelt THANK YOU.

1. Yeah, I think everybody had forgotten about Pearl Harbor
"Pearl Harbor" just gets a blank stare of non-recognition these days. Pearl Harbor, wasn't she a jazz vocalist? I heard someone say just last week. It's easy to forget that just 8 years ago "Pearl Harbor" was in the American lexicon at least, virtually synonymous with the Second World War, and could serve as a short hand notation for an unanticipated yet hoped-for sneak attack that could propel Americans into another globe sweeping paroxysm of warfare.

thanks for the reminder.
