68th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor
Sixty Eight years ago today, the
Japanese attacked the Hawai'ian naval base at Pearl Harbor.
That event changed the course of American history.
It is an eerie thing to be looking at the wrecked hull of the Arizona, seeing the occasional drop of oil float to the surface and realize that there are still sailors on board.
I have also stood near the plaque on the Mighty Mo where the Japanese surrender was signed.
We forget so much of what our father's generation has done for us and for the United States. We have become complacent and are suffering for it.
