Pearl Harbor Day

Posted 07 Dec 2007 in patriotism, war

“…December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of American was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”

It was 66 years ago today. In two hours, Japan’s sneak attack killed 2,350 American soldiers along with 68 civilians and wounded 1,178 more, destroyed 188 American aircraft, and sank 18 ships. More about the attack here and here.

Japan’s violent hostilities drew America into World War 2. Luckily for us, and through the bravery, resolve and constant self-sacrifice of what we now call “The Greatest Generation,” the world was spared from tyranny.

Never forget.

UPDATE: Jenn of the Jungle makes an appropriate comparison between the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attacks on Sept 11, 2001.

I WILL NEVER FORGET, NOT DECEMBER 7TH 1941; NOR SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001. I will never forget those who seek to bring about the end of my great nation and the people within. I will never forget the brave men and woman who gave their lives in 1941 and now, fighting evil in the extreme to keep safe this very precious country I love so dearly. Those who are making the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom.

A quick look at the Google homepage shows nothing but a rainbow Google sign, no remembrance of that day of infamy. No flag. No honor. Google and those who work for them, they have forgotten. Newspapers around the country have forgotten. CNN they have forgotten, MSNBC, they too have forgotten. Not shockingly FoxNews, has NOT forgotten.

Even better, there’s a creative re-interpretation of FDR’s famous speech. Definitely worth the read.
