December 7, 1941
Remember Pearl Harbor. I was fortunate enough to visit last week, and after being so moved by the memorial, I wanted to share my experience with you. The slideshow and images below are a 1 minute tribute to those who were lost on December 7, 1941, in the attack on Pearl Harbor. If you are one of those fortunate enough to know someone who served in WW2, who remembers this first-hand, please pass this along as a thank you and a tribute.
Thank you to all who have served our country, and to all who are currently serving. We are in debt to your service.
The exerpt below is from FDR's speech to the nation after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.......With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."
