When my Dad was alive, I used to call him every Dec. 7th and ask him, "By the way, it's Pearl Harbor Day. What were you doing on Dec. 7, 1941?"

And he always enjoyed reminiscing how he was a student at Penn State, that he and his engineering buddies were studying when the news came over the radio. "We knew we were going to war," he'd say solemnly.

With some luck, the war into which the US was unexpectedly thrust on September 11, 2001, will end in the same unconditional victory as did the war into which we were thrust on December 7, 1941. (At least your, and my, father's generation knew that they were in a war)
