National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Public Law 103-308
Whereas, on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force attacked units of the armed forces of the United States stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii;
Whereas, more than 2,000 citizens of the United States were killed and more than 1,000 citizens of the United States were wounded in the attack on Pearl Harbor;
Whereas, the attack on Pearl Harbor marked the entry of the United States into World War II;
Whereas, the veterans of World War II and all other people of the United States commemorate December 7 in remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor; and
Whereas, commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor will instill in all people of the United States a greater understanding and appreciation of the selfless sacrifice of the individuals who served in the armed forces of the United States during World War II: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That December 7 of each year is designated as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day" and the President is authorized and requested--
(1) to issue annually a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and
(2) to urge all Federal agencies, and interested organizations, groups, and individuals, to fly the flag of United States at halfstaff each December 7 in honor of the individuals who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.
Listen to President Roosevelt's speech to Congress, Dec. 8, 1941.

Your hossie looks right spunky. See how he's half-bucking already? Might be a good idea to put some Velcro on the saddle to help keep you on. LOL!! It's been a looooong time since I've ridden. Might not hurt to put a little Velcro on my saddle, too! :-D

Maybe if we love on 'em a bit they'll be gentle with us. I'm getting a bruised feeling just thinking about this, y'know? LOL!!

LOL!!! Ya think that's gonna be enough Velcro? The more I think about it, I may want enough to just tie myself to the hossie. I'm sure my riding skills aren't what they used to be. hahahaha!

Hey, looks like you have everything under control. OK, I'm ready.
To: radu
"I'm sure my riding skills aren't what they used to be." LOL! And mine are nonexistent. Is this the right stuff?
Wait, I have another idea.
To: tomkow6
These are wonderful pics of the USS Harry S. Truman Battle Group pulling out, tomkow. They do bring tears to my eyes. I know it's not easy for the troops or their families to be separated. I'm thankful that there are so many fine men and women who are willing to do whatever must be done in the service to our country.

LOL!! The carosel hossie might be our best bet!! Safe, anyway.
If we're gonna ride the others we might need one of these. Could help a little anyway. giggle! Take your pick.

I'm so glad to hear your Dad's doing so well!! He's a very lucky man. I haven't forgotten the pics of his car. I know it's got to be a relief to you and the rest of your family that he's recovering so well.

Wow, Valin, thanks for a story that I had not heard before yesterday. Thanks for filling in a lot of details about the aftermath, or lack thereof, of the USS Ward and the sinking of the Japanese sub.

15 men received medals of Honor for their heroic actions at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Thank you for this wonderful post, Linda. We owe these men, and so many others, so much for the freedom we enjoy today.
