On a quiet Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, more than 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On that day, life changed in America, and the course of history was altered forever.
I remember that day. Our family sat around the radio listening to FDR give his speech. My Dad and my uncles were World War I vets. World War I was terrible and they knew what was coming. Then the radio was turned off and nobody spoke for quite a while.
A poignant memory, I'm sure. There are many generations that have been absorbed with protecting our precious land ... now, it's our turn.
