On December 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan launched a surprise attack on the U. S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in which thousands of Americans lost their lives and our naval fleet was severely damaged. The events of that day, which President Franklin Roosevelt vowed would “live in infamy,” proved for many Americans that aggressors would not simply ignore us if we ignored them. The attack on Pearl Harbor launched America into the Second World War, and our Greatest Generation did not hesitate when asked to sacrifice for their country. American men enlisted in droves, American women went to work in the factories that became our “Arsenal of Democracy,” and many Americans gave what little money they had to buy the war bonds that funded it all. They stormed the beaches at Normandy and fought on little known islands in the Pacific in the name of liberty. They don’t ask for our thanks, but I hope we will continue to give it because the sacrifice that began at Pearl Harbor is one of the many events that have defined the United States of America as “the last best hope of man on earth.” (With great photo)

I love it when a REAL American remembers the patriotism of past generations...
This is the face of UNFAKED patriotism.
facebook link? I can only get to your blogspot..not her facebook.
The wonderful lady from Alaska speaks again.
Her words offered in respect and in the memory of those that came before us.
A wife, a mother of 5, a common everyday and down to earth God fearing person, from some place with a silly sounding name in Alaska, bothers to remember and pay tribute to America’s Greatest Generation and their struggle, and victory, against those that tried to destroy our country.
Obama, a person that some call the most powerful man on the planet, silently moves through this important anniversary in Americana’s history. He is obviously too busy doing his best to tear down what so many have given their lives to build, and what so many died for on December 7, 1941 and the years of war that followed.
Palin 2012... there simply is no other reasonable option.
Did Bozo happen to mention Pearl Harbor day today? No? I didn’t think so.
There was nothing in most of the major newspapers or MSM either. Seriously, what is wrong with our country?
A news search reveals ZERO stories referencing any Obama statements to mark the day that his supposed birthplace and hometown was attacked. Me? I still get choked up thinking about Pearl Harbor. I really won't be surprised if he marks tomorrow's anniversary of the bombing of Manila and Clark AB by doing something to blatantly offend Macapagal-Arroyo.
"Here is a true President of the United States. When comes such another?"
