A Day Which Will Live In Infamy... · 5:55am Dec 8th, 2018
Regrettably, I have been too busy today to craft a proper reflection on December 7th, 1941. Fortunately, the words of the time speak for themselves.
From the site of the attack...
...to the men who lived through it (pay particular note to his closing remarks)...
...to the little moments of soft-spoken heroism...
...to the U.S. entering the war...
...in these words history comes to us. Our history is a living thing. It continues to shape us in ways we cannot imagine. And we must always honor those who gave their lives, either in death or in service; a price that can never be repaid.
Never forget.
Sláinte.
The day when WWII officially became "our problem".
