Thank you for keeping the memory alive. Each year I volunteered (sometime with a push to get in) at my kids school to speak to the children about the war, and always went to the Armory to get a few props to let them touch and bring into focus the acts of bravery that marked this Day, Dec. 7 1941.
Although I served much, much later... LOL my being there to tell them the story and the background before and after the war helped them to feel that special pride that we have, and pass to them in their country.
I have recently moved, and did not get to do it this year, but Lord willing I will be there with bells on next year.

It's so great that you volunteer to speak to school kids about war and military history. After I got back from the Gulf War I spoke to several school groups about the experience and it was very rewarding for me and for the kids.
