Do you remember it? Most of us are too young to have been there. But we remember the stories, the horrific pictures, the history of it all.
December 7, 1941, as Roosevelt said, "is a day that will live in infamy." History books today may try to cloud that day over with "political correctness." But we were viciously and brutally attacked by the Japanese.
The destruction of much of our Navy's battleships was a blow to the Americans and yet they rose up from the ashes of those bombings to fight back for our country. Millions of men marched into recruitment centers and signed up to fight the enemy.
They became our "Greatest Generation." Proud young boys eager to stand up for their country and do the nation proud. And that they did.
If you know any veterans from that time that are still with us, listento their stories. And thank them for their service to this country. They literally saved the nation.
Many lives were lost that day. Bright, fresh young faces that went through hell and some who now lay buried in the belly of those ships. Say a silent prayer in their memory.
Make this day a day to remember. Next year we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of this sad day. And despite this attack, and the war that followed, a new generation of Americans was born into a free nation. Thank God for their service and may God Bless America! ~One Voice
