December 7, 1941 - A Day That Shall Live In Infamy
Living next to a large US Marine Corps base (Camp Lejeune) and growing up learning about WWII, I hold a special place for those who have served and died to protect our freedoms. As we are locked in the struggles around this world, let us not forget the past and the resolutions that have been achieved.
On this day decades ago on December 7, 1941 the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. (see US Nave military history site)
Our world has changed and we are responsible. We no longer fight the Japanese and many of the earlier prejudices have long since been diminished. Maybe through due diligence and learning about each other we can do the same working with todays foes.
Only time will tell...
