Again, December 7, the day that will live in infamy, is again upon us. And so we remember, and honor, those who gave their lives in the attack upon our nation which led us into WWII. America's Greatest Generation, who grew up in the midst of a depression, in poverty, in famine, were then called into a world war to defend our country. It's as if they didn't grow through enough hardships. Now, they would be called to face different, but equally ruthless, enemies on both sides of our continent, and sacrifice their lives if need be, to defend our freedom. And so they went, with immeasurable courage, and hope, that those they left behind could continue, and prosper, in the freedoms of which our nation was founded. I've been to the Pearl Harbor/Arizona memorial a couple of times. I can't describe my sense and feelings as I was there, only that I was just able to utter these few words aloud:" Thank you, and God Bless your souls."
