    Cool Day That Will Live In Infamy

    Remembrance Of Pearl Harbor

    Although I had not been born at the time, growing up in the 1950's the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was common knowledge to all of my friends. Even up into the 1980's we would be reminded of this day with flags at half-staff and small Veteran Events would dot the country where fellow Americans would patriotically remember the start of a worldwide engagement against aggression.

    Scantly noticed today, 79 years later, Government Schools and buildings no longer fly Old Glory at half-staff, some don't even fly the US Flag period. I am sure that yesterday's view of those events will be written off as the results of American Colonialism, just as the events of September 11. 2001 will also fade into oblivion, only to be replaced future and more subtle and long enduring attacks by our enemies.

    Your generation may be the last to repeat this knowledge to a younger generation, so be thorough.

    God Bless America and The Greatest Generation of Americans.

    When I was growing up the adults were still highly upset about Pearl harbor and how dare the Japanese attack on a Sunday. Most likely will not hear much about it since Obama apologized for us ending WW2 the way we did. GOD BLESS AMERICA

    If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

    Thank you Jim. I can't remember when I last read the entire Roosevelt presentation, I had forgotten how many places Japan attacked on that day. Thanks for the reminder..... Jim

    I had a chance to visit the Arizona Memorial. There were more Japanese there than Americans. Couldn't understand a word they were saying. Maybe a good thing. Was shocked to see the list of brothers who died that day on the Arizona.

    Very moving. And yes it is and was still leaking oil.

    This is just ancient history to the younger generation not taught in our schools. You can see how this country is slowly

    sliding into socialism. California is a one party state already and if the Demo win the senate it's on the fast track to

    total Marxism. God help the U.S.A.
